Hey all,
I need some help with discipline for SS4. He is out of control. He talks back to everything I say, disagrees with everything, yells all the time, cries all the time, and lies to my face even if I catch him in the act. We have tried everything. Spanking, time outs, taking toys and/or privileges away, talking to him, everything. I still get called names, I still get blamed for everything. I just don't seem to be able to get through to him and I've been in his life for about 3 years now. I know there is a lot going on because his BM has apparently gone AWAL and he hasn't talked to her for a few weeks but nothing is working here and I am at my wit's end. My BD3 listens to my rules with no problem and I just don't get why there is such a disconnect and disrespect there. They have the same rules and punishments but it doesn't work with him. I would love some feedback, I am getting desperate here! Thanks!
