[QUOTE="kaydeec, post: 304464, member: 8003"] Hi all Im new to this but desperate for advice and some help...my son has just turned 5. He is a lovely boy who is kind and popular...however saying this most of the time he is also out of control. Since he was born he was extremely quick with all his milestones and people always commented on this however he was also always hyperactive and always seemed to be doing everything louder, quicker more dangerously etc! He seems to be on autocharge all the time. My husband and I struggled as family could not cope with him and so did not offer to babysit or give us a break. Now that he is 5 nothing has changed but he is defiant strong willed and always on the go. He is boistrous and extremely active and seems rebellious and very impulsive. He is always hurting his friends in rough and tumble fighting (which he thinks is playing). He will not do anything such as bath, brush teeth, get dressed, sit at the table, basically anything we expect from him and we are constantly from morning to night arguing with him about this we just can't get through to him....have tried naughty steps, reward charts, sending him to his room, taking toys,tv away and am constantly praising the good behaviour.
