[QUOTE="aprim, post: 604440, member: 16193"] Hello Everyone, Its been about 5 months since I posted this on the forum. I remember how desperate I was seeking advice. Just wanted to update everyone, Devin is doing much better. Yes, he still has tantrums from time to time but they much tamer. No hitting or kicking. Major improvement. I have been enforcing a new type of discipline which I think has helped. No spanking at all. Ive been punishing him during his tantrums and let them ride out in the corner of his room. Only when he is calm and behaved can he come back into the playroom or outside. Very stern, It was a real chore at first to keep him from not destroying his room but now he understands that it wont be tolerated. Now when he acts up I remind him of being punished and he (most of the time) changes his tune. Helps clean up or sits patiently waiting for supper. He has become so much better when we are out. We have been to the carnival, out to dinner and even shopping. Of course there are a few other things that helps such as a lolly-pop or the iPad that he can watch some video on for the long wait at a restaurant but I have learned different techniques that my other 2 did not require at all. I try and be prepared for whatever we planned that day. I know his triggers. Over all I guess Its just different for each child. I understand that this may not work for all but I learned if you make a punishment to follow through. I hate doing it, and my wife is a little less assertive but he knows there are consequences when he acts bad. Usually Im the bad cop (for all my children) but its a small price to pay when it comes to his behavior. I love them so much and nothing is more rewarding then being a proud parent of your childs behavior especially when you arent around. Thats when you know youre doing it right. I dont want them to fear me, I just want them to respect everyone around them and always be on the good side of judgment. How we raise them if how they will grow for the rest of their lifes. Anyway I just wanted to give a update and share what I have learned. Its not over yet but I do see a major difference. Thanks everyone for the advice! Anthony [/QUOTE]
