He's had a tough time with the whole divorce thing and my mom passing they were so close, but i think with the counseling it has been helping. he has a little bit of anger issues i'm trying to be very patient with... But any 5 year old tries to push your buttons.. He needs to learn what the word NO means.. lol... I can't always try to fix everything with love. At least that's what the counseler is telling me not to create a little monster.. But its hard to say no to that cute little face sometimes.. But i have to be strong.. lol.... I started him on a star program for good behavior, and been taking tv, game, and outdoor play time off of him when he is bad at school.. and the backtalking gets a little spank on the bottom to know that mom is not putting up with that... so been working on it since winter i think we are making progress here, I'm new at the mom thing too...

I bet it has been tough for him, but it sounds like you are doing everything possible to help him get through these tough times. Of course it's hard to say no to that sweet adorable little face!

You're a good Mom Haley and it sounds like you're doing all the right things. You are so right that the word 'no' means 'no' and that backtalking will not be tolerated no matter when or where. Stay strong, pretty soon they're all grown and you wish they were small again.

Oh that backtalking... I think i got it under control now.. He knows not to push my buttons... I take the tv off him, play dates, playtime.. So he's a smart kid.. He's learning fast.. I told them at his daycare to do the same and not to give in.. They get rewards for being good at daycare also. So that helps me alot!
