[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 492990, member: 1514"] No child likes consequences. Heck no person likes consequences. Fact is you have to impose consequences to show them that what they did was wrong. If he throws a fit while the consequence is being handed down you have to deal with it. It will get less with time. He has learned that if he throws a big enough fit, you will let him out of his time out or whatever punishment you have set. It is a pain in the ass to discipline children but that is what parenting is. Parenting is hard work. You have to control him now at 5 if you want to have a hope and a prayer of having control at 15. If you cannot set limits now and hand down punishments and consequences now there is no way you will be able to do it when he is a teen. He is still small enough for you to handle what he dishes out and stand firm when he throws these fits. You have to be stronger than he is so he respects your authority otherwise he believes he is the boss and that simply cannot work. [/QUOTE]
