First I'm a concerned grandparent my grandson appears to be frustrated and angry he defies discipline and lashes out with hateful comments and kicks the dog all the time seems to be out of being tired or not getting his way! So I send him to his room and tell him I am not happy with his behavior! He cries and screams in his pillow so I feel awful but his dad says he is like that they try but don't make him do nothing he says I don't want to and they take toys away and time out but don't seem to follow thru! This generation doesn't believe in discipline. I am so confused and don't want him to be a spoiled brat! He is the only child! He is premature and following behind in writing his name and school

for one a kid needs to be a kid yes but some of that behavior is not appropriate. yes kids act out. but he lashes out. he needs to know how to correctly behave. I suggest time outs redirecting the anger with stimuli or calmly taking the kid aside and talking to him. in a calm but firm voice. make it known the consequences of his actions and give him a choice on what path he wants to follow the path where he sits in his room or the path where he gets to play and mess around in a none violent way. if you dont stop it now it will only proceed to get worse.
