my 4 years old

Cries over little little things…he’s been crying the whole day today I’ve tried everything but he’s acting like a spoilt brat…he’s more fussy than the other two…in fact his older brothers rarely get into a mood but with this little thing just don’t stop throwing tantrums…I want to run away from him..:frowning:

Re: my 4 years old

Why dont u?

Ok not literally.... But if he wants to whine... He can do so in his room...and when he is done, he can come out and behave..

Im sure uve already tried this though?

Re: my 4 years old

When I want to send him away he clings to me and when I want to cuddle him he runs away or cries even harder. Also he's having mood swings for few weeks...like he crying and next minute laughing. It's very frustrating and I feel totally drained.

^ seems like my second one, but she is only 2 and a half.
I let her cry, or throw tantrums, then after I while, I ask her to stop, which she doesnt. These kids are very smart. The moment you say something or even start saying something with a bit of a tone, these tears start coming out. Mines points out to her eye and says its hurt, if I say something to her, so in the end she is crying even more as she is telling me she is hurt. :-/ I feel your pain, hang on.

Re: my 4 years old

Haha....that sounds so cute but I know when sometimes you're tired you It's hard dealing with them little ones.

Re: my 4 years old

I must be a !itch of a mother then…cuz if my son tries to pull a smart act like oh im already in pain why are u making me cry more… I sometimes reply.. U acted like a brat…now if u dont stop crying i will really give u something to cry bout :mad: followed by even more time in the naughty corner.

Insaan ka bacha bangaya and quit acting smart.

No kids were hurt in this act, i promise. :smiley:

But honestly… Only u know when ure kid is acting up and when its really hurt… No laad piyar when they know they have been bad… No laad piyar even afterwards… I usually call him after a time out and still in a strict toneexplain what he did waswrong…and maintain the cold shoulder for another hour.

Im glad he cares what i think bout him cuz this snob like attitude he gets from me really sorts him out for a fewweeks :smiley:

Re: my 4 years old

I think coz he's the youngest and I hardly tell him off I have spoiled him....hence the Rona dhona for no reason.

Re: my 4 years old

Khawateen, tried out the time out method, take her to her room and closed the door, she was crying murder, either I let her and let the whole neighbors know and soon I will have the police on my door for mishandling a kid (which I wasn't :)
Seriously maybe I cant be a mean mom. But she knows when she is out of the boundaries, so its not that bad yet, only once in a mean while, like Hareem said, its hard to deal with when u are tired yourself.

Re: my 4 years old

I understand, its not about spoiling, some kids just need more attention of their moms (dads) then others, its his way of saying, mom I need attention, not that he might not get getting any.

Re: my 4 years old

Anyway...he's asleep and now I can have some peace till tomorrow morning.:D

Re: my 4 years old
