While my 5 year old does have some trouble listening, for the mpst part she is very well behaved and we achieved this by following through with the punishment we state. We do not cave or back down or change our mind.

Consistency in all aspects of the childs world is a key to a happy household/family..keeping the child on a schedule so they know what to expect next, be able to self start, will cut down on th eroller coaster of emotions. Also I explain to my kids when I agree or disagree to something.. give them the reasons to why they cant so something and then give them an alternative helps . My kids may not like the decision but they atleast know why.. Good luck.. atleast u can be assured they have their own mind and that will get them far in life

My 4 year old doesn't listen to me most of the time either......I am consistent with my punishments. I've tried time outs, taking away toys, priviliges. U name i've tried it. The only thing that works for certain things (hitting me, bitting his bro, or bad words) is hot sauce, i put a little on my finger and put it on his tongue. But really what can i do for the tantrums? there is days where i just wanna give up he is so difficult. He knows how to get everyone to do what he wants cuz he is really cute and knows how to talk to ppl VERY WELL!! he's in pre-k and his teacher is even wrapped around his finger. It was the same in Pre-school!!! His terrible two's just seem to keep going!!............just venting
