aggression
Sibling Rivalry: Toddler and Preschooler
QUESTION
My son will be 4 years old in July. Over the last few weeks he has really become difficult to handle.
He fights me on almost all issues from what he is going to eat to what he wants to wear for the day. Usually I give him choices on things so that he doesn't feel powerless but it doesn't seem to matter. He seems to want to argue with everything I say these days.
I started staying home with both my kids in February so that I could spend more time with them. He does go to a preschool for 2 hours a day four days a week, but other than that I am with him all the time.
STAR Testing for Character
At some point, kids need to learn to stand up for themselves and to be assertive. However, society is now pushing kids in the direction of aggression, not assertiveness. We are in the middle of a national crisis on character and its time we stop and think about the standards we are truly setting up for our kids.
