[QUOTE="madregrande, post: 313738, member: 8261"] Just to let you know that you are not alone, my 4 year old son is exactly like that. When you discipline him, it becomes worse. Others judge us when we don't jerk him up and spank him for things, but we know that if those people saw how he reacts to a spanking, they would leave well enough alone. It is very difficult when they go into themselves like that. He will be 5 in February, and he has begun to mature out of that a little. He also goes into hyper drive when tired or overstimulated. The only thing you can do at that point as a parent is put him in his room where it is safe and quiet, because you cannot reason with him at that point. He is not thinking rationally. We have to also use positive things, or just change the subject entirely to something he likes like just out of the blue start talking about a tv show. That usually makes him laugh, and re-directs his entire mentality and behavior. That is just one of the many ways we cope with that. My son has Sensory Integration Disorder which is the driving force behind the ability to become so overstimulated, and the out there behaviors as well. [/QUOTE]
