my 4 year old is for lack of a better term a terrible child. he randomly screams loudly for no reason, he tries to steal things when we go ANYWHERE, he abuses our animals, his baby (7 month old) brother and me. my husband and i argue everyday over my son and his bad behavior is getting to be a problem in our marriage. he lies for no reason about things he doesnt have to lie about. he calls me names, curses at me and hits me in the face. he refuses to listen and almost always does the opposite of what is told or asked of him. we have tried everything. he gets verbal warnings, time outs, toys or favorite things taken away, soap in his mouth, even spankings. its embarrassing to take him places and im afraid that if his terrible behavior continues in public and at school CPS will become involved and i love him despite his actions.
P.S. my husband and i dont curse at one other and there is absolutely no abuse in our home where can those things be coming from? (link)

Perhaps he has ADHD, go to the doctors, but you must take control over this child. Tell him he can't have this and he can't have that. The one thing a child hates it to be deprived of attention so send him to his room be persistant. Don't let him have anything keep his telly and DVDs, games sweets take it all away and give it to him only when he is good. Let him throw a fit but you stay calm and persistant work with your husband to do this not against him. Talk to your husband and reach an understanding about what it is you would like to do about your sons behavior hope I helped.

i will definately try this. We have taken him to his peds dr and he also sees a therapist. they say he has ADHD which makes sense because i have it terribly. but with his age they dont have much advice.
