My son is going through a really annoying stage. Help?!?
Answer:
Have you considered that he may need a check-up. Sometimes there are chemical embalances that lead to such behavior.
When that is ruled out then MOM takes control.
How are things at school for him? Has home life changed, other than this annoying behavior? If it's none of these things, relax. He'll get over it soon. Meanwhile, just ignore him when he's being annoying.
your son seems just like a normal five year old. but if you want to connect again with your son try doing something he really likes to do.i would not worry to much if it is not affecting his school work.if it is maybe you can talk to his doctor.just give it time
The only advice I have, you may not like. In public, "nag" him; but when at home just let it go. He'll outgrow it (eventually). Yes, it is normal (and annoying), but he'll feel closer to you if you pretend you think some of it is funny too... He's learning about humor and his personality, and wants to be liked at this age. If dad's around, try to get him to give him "cool guy" advice about it. Sorry I can't help any more!
PLEASE DON'T put him on any medications just because he's over-active unless he absolutely cannot pay any attention in school or at home... kids are supposed to be energetic (even amazingly so), and we all grew up fine without drugs keeping us in line. If you start him on meds now, it is likely he will need them the rest of his life, and many of those type can be addictive.
Your son is five and is going to do things that are annoying. I don't think you have to worry to much about your bond with him. If you have been there for him and he knows he can count on you, your fine there. He is just becoming a little man with thoughts of his own. I would just kind of direct him in the right time to do Karate kicks and when it is okay to have bathroom humor and when it is not. The hugs will come back when he is ready. If he is really hyper try coming him down with craft work or a karate book or something that you know he is interested in.
I have a younger cousin is also 5 years old and doing the same things as your son. This is quite normal when grow up, but try to make him relax by doing things that will calm him down.
I have a younger cousin who is five and she is very annoying and has bad potty humor, my aunt thinks that she might have ADHD or ADD, but don't assume that it is ADHD or ADD right away because my aunt is also always nagging her to behave and trying to teach her better manners and my little cousin also doesn't show much affection towards my aunt or to anyone that much. It is also very common for kids to be like this when they are younger. My advice would to be to try to do fun things with him and try to teach him good manners. I know this may not be very good advice but at least i try. =)
I can't wait until he hits his teens...You gave birth to a HUMAN BEING, a total individual. You'd better start at least "Liking" your son or you could be creating trouble for his future. I suggest you lighten up, he is only 5 years old so he is going to behave like a 5 year old. If that is so unacceptable to you why did you have a child to begin with. Children are not mini adults, they behave like CHILDREN and not like adults. get over yourself and allow your child to be a child and learn to enjoy his childhood or in another 20 years when he is gone and no longer wants anything to do with YOU you will wish you had his "unacceptable" behavior back.
He's a TYPICAL 5 year old boy...
You need to set boundries. Tell him, "When I talk to you, I expect you to listen to me with out jumping around." If he doesn't listen, walk away when HE wants something...he'll get the message. Also, tell him that "bathroom humor" offends ladies and that you are a lady and don't appreciate it. He does it to get a rise out of you, so don't react when he does it.
Also, explain to him that there are certain ways to act when out in public and if he wants to be able to go out to dinner or the movies or shopping, he has to act like a gentleman at all times. If you take him out and he doesn't, leave the store- take him home and then remind him of his actions the next time he wants to go...then don't take him.
My daughter threw a fit in Target once- just ONCE and didn't go back to TARGET for 2 months because I wouldn't put up with it. I mean business when I say you need to act properly in a store and she learned that quickly.
He's starting to exercise his independence, so he may not be as into hugging as he once was...but that doesn't mean you can't tackle him with a big one and a huge smooch! He'll probably think it's funny!
