Our 3 year old soon to be 4 is so out of control. He is very aggressive and does not listen to us at all. And we cant even get the grandparents to babysit for a night out to ourselves because he won't listen and they cant deal with him either. I can't take him anywhere because of him not listening. We have tried everything (taking toys away or stuff he likes, time-out, etc.). Our pediatrician says he will grow out of it but he doesnt see the everyday stuff I have to go through with him. I wish I had a camcorder to tape him and take the tape into the pediatricians office so he will take me seriously. I quit my job to stay at home with him to get him under control. IM SCARED IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING NOW OUR SON WILL GROW UP TO BE A CRIMINAL OR SOMETHING WORSE. AND I DONT EVEN WANT TO THINK OF THE TEENAGE YEARS AHEAD. WE HAVE TO NIP IT IN THE BUD NOW!!! Thanks for letting me rant. Just fed up with no help from any professionals. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for any ideas or suggestions.
