[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 696161, member: 20025"] Do the opposite - ignore him when he is being naughty, DON'T buy him anything. When he is being good, THEN hug him, pay attention to him, and buy him things. And all adults in the house have to adopt the same strict rules. DON'T GIVE IN! Everybody be consistent. It will take all of you adults "ganging up" against him to make this work. Amazing the will power and manipulative power of a small kid! But if you are all on the same band wagon, the kid will settle down and suddenly be a good content kid. They want "boundaries" and will test you to see what those boundaries are. Also something funny, kids will want to hang around with adults who treat them this way. Funny that you are strict and feel like you are being "mean", but they want and like "structure"! [/QUOTE]
