I'm new to this board so bear with me. I have a gson that is 8 yrs. old. He thinks he should be able to do what ever he wants. He is very smart but this year in school he can't seem to focus. He fights with his mom and dad everyday and night. They have taken away all of his things in his room except his bed ,dresser, desk. He is told he will have to be good and earn things back. It has been two mths and he doesn't even care. He back talks his mother and they will fight most of the night. My poor daughter is at her witts end. THe doctor just tells her to put him in time out and spank him when he gets out of his chair. When he is with other people including myself I don't have alot of the same issues. I do get on him and make sure he does what he is told but that doesn;t always work either. He can be a great boy when he wants to. But everyday he creates the mood for the whole family for the whole day and night. My little gson whom is 6 doesn't have any of his bothers issues. Does anyone have any suggestions. My daughter has tried them all.
