Also known as how do I deal with my 10 year old boy!!!
my toddler/young child techniques are tired and don't seem to work anymore
He has started reacting to me in a "so make me" kind of way.
He knows I cant physically make him, he knows I will take things away and doesn't care. He knows he will lose rewards and positive things. He doesn't care.
His behaviour isn't terrible, he is generally a good chap but there are times I need him to do certain things within a certain timescale and Idon't know what to do!
eg, at the dentist. come on in it is our turn. "no" your brother has finished you need to get in the dentist chair "no" thankfully we have known our dentist for a long time and she came and did the examination in the waiting chair commenting "you don't get out of it that easily buster" and afterwards she was positive about his teeth and cleaning skills.
However I am now thinking about what we do with that attitude in a different situation.
Ideas??? help???
