How to manage a tricky 4 year old boy Post Reply

[oh dear me]

Hi all

I have a little boy who is almost 4. Recently he has started to become quite a challenge - answering back all the time, refusing to do anything I or others ask him to and generally being difficult. Have any of you read any good and realistic child psychology books to help?

I guess it could just be a phase he is going through but keen to nip it in the bud now.

Do look up Elaine Halligan of The Parent Practice. She has good tips, a blog and courses.

Hi, I so understand what you are going through and please feel like you aren't alone as it's much more common that you might think. I wonder if he's started school this year too? That can often be very hard for boys and can trigger 'challenging behaviour'.
