[blparent] troubled parent

[Veronica Smith]

When Gab was that age, we'd always just play outside in the backyard.  We have rocks, but I'd put down a thick rubber mat and wie'd sit and play there.

My suggestion is to be diligent on having time outdoors every day. Find something, even if it’s the same thing daily that involves the outdoors. I have n eight month old so its very different but I notice that if I keep him indoors for too long, he gets edgy. We hike, we walk, we shop, something to change his environment and it usually immediately helps. 

I bet it will be good for you too. Stay strong and good luck.

        Nikki here and very distressed. Divorced mother of a 5 year old boy. Live with parents, ugh! 

I need behavioral modifacations other than spanking. He doesn’t listen well, follow directions, stay focused, and talks when he’s not supposed to. 

Wanting to stay away from spanking for punishment. Anyone have any advice for me?
