AGH!
In my quest to be transparent I need to get this out there. I am struggling with discipline with my 4 year old. He is not listening. He could get in trouble for something and then turn around and do it again with in the next five minutes. I have tried so many different things that I just don't know what to do next. I know boys are different, but I am really having a hard time with him. I don't know what else to do with him or for him. If anyone has any suggestions please pass them on because I just don't know what else to do.

The voice of dad may help. Maybe he is seeking the headship. For boys finding there place in the family is important. But I would also seek the Word for scripture to give to him to speak over him. There is a way and God will give you the answer.
Tammie, Hang in there. My son frustrates me more than Samantha ever did...I will e-mail you this morning with some thoughts. But for now, don't beat yourself up.
Love ya, girl.

We still deal with this with Adam. He is almost 14 but acts 4 so we have started to tie his behaviors in with rewards and privileges. "You chose not to do your job without a bad attitude so you chose to sit in your room and read a book tonight while we play games." "If you finish raking the yard with a good attitude and do it well you will be able to play in that same yard the rest of the afternoon." A phrase we use with Jasmine (7) is that we "obey the first time every time." I think it's from a Christian parenting class but we've never taken it. If your church offers one, it might be good to do it.
