Thank you for your prayers. My son Liam is 3 and a half... Still far ways off from a teenager. :) He is deliberately defiant in every single thing he does. Its a very severe case of terrifying three's im afraid. From the moment he awakens to the moment he lays down to sleep he fights and throws a fit over all his father and I ask of him. Even the simplest of things such as eating meals and using the restroom. Ive tried many different techniques to attempt to work with him with very little headway. Its exhausting when i have his 7 month old brother to take care of as well. But i continue to pray and to guide him the best i can with my husband. On the upside the last two days he has been much better and things are looking up. Thanks for your prayers. Jesus is great!!

My husband and I raised a defiant one like that. A challenge from the word go. He is our oldest. At the time we didn't know what to do, other than pray, which we all did.

While learning to deal with him, God led us to a program that worked fairly well in the raising of such a challenging child. At least he made it thru childhood alive and is in his 30s now, wondering how to deal with his own defiant son. chuckle

The thing is, at the time I had wished oh how I wished I had this program back when my oldest was still really young. We had our chance tho to try this program with our youngest, who at 3 1/2 was promising to be every bit as challenging as his oldest brother. :7gaaah7:

And the delightful thing is.... using this program from that early age has helped to produce the most amazing young man. Also in his 30s, but confident in his own abilities and etc, from the age of 10 yrs.

I can see the differences between the two, oldest and youngest, and can say with assurance the main reason for the success with my youngest is that the program gave him choices and natural/logical consequences from the start. Brings it down to the level even a 3 yr old child can understand.

The program is S.T.E.P. -- 'Systematic Training for Effective Parenting'. Here's a link to the handbook, which is very detailed and all you'll need. Tho there are sites and books etc that help explain things in further detail.

Here's one of the sites that explain some of it. They have many more things to buy here, but all we ever used was the handbook.
