I am about FED UP with the little stomp my feet and ball my fists up attitude I am getting from my still only a 4 year old child! bedtime is hell. It is not fun at all. I think many parents can agree with me on this. But lately it seems to have been getting worse.
So I tell him tonight, at 9 PM (same as every night), that it is bedtime. Next thing I know the tears come and he is stompin his little feet up the stairs. I also notice his little hands are straight down at his side balled into little fists. He goes into the bathroom and locks himself in. Now this wouldn't have been such a big deal had he not pushed it closed when I tried opening it. So as he is walking to his room, after I had to loudly tell him to get out, I swatted his butt. He had jean shorts on and didn't even feel a thing but since he knew I did it he throws himself on his bed making this strange dinosaur noise and precedes to punch his bed.
What could be causing him this much anger? I mean I can understand at 13 when the world is a terrible place, but he is only 4 years old! He has not even hit puberty yet! What is going to happen when he starts sprouting hair in places and actually has something to be upset about because puberty makes him stink! I am a firm believer in spankings, so he of course had to get one spanking. But really, there has to be some sort of magic button to push to make this stop. Please someone, tell me where the hell this button is because I just might have an anxiety attack times ten if this continues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. this is not just a one time thing, and the balled up fists have me a bit concerned.
