He also fight with his older(8) and younger(3) sister. More with the older than the younger. I have tried everything, I just do not know what to do. Please so one out there please help me out....

Answer 1

Keep him safe (obviously) and give him access to complex toys and crafts. What you have is the potential makings of a brilliant and creative child. Don't stifle it, nurture it. Try and get him into older play groups. Do everything you can to keep him from being bored!



Poor Lucky7777. You can not reason with a 4 year old.



I think it might help to stop thinking of it as a negative and see it as a challenge. Seems like you got lucky with the other 3, now your son is making things interesting. My youngest was the epitome of everything her older sisters and brother never did. He'll be fine, but it will take more effort on your part and his siblings' as well. It may not seem like it, but I'll bet all of you combined can wear the little tiger out.

Answer 2

He's explororing. Why not get him some learning toys that make noise and sounds. Love on him more because he seems angry always fighting.



Put him in martial arts or some kind of class where he can be around other positive children. If you can't afford it then get creative with him. Do activities.

Answer 3

I say if he has toys hide them from him. If he does't like it make an agreement with him to stop what he does for the exchange of his toys. other then that don't know what to say, because kids will be kids.

Answer 4

That's what kids do!
