  • You got a certified brat on your hands. I would advise a strong dose of tough love and as many whippings as it takes. Invest in a good belt. Love is a package deal that includes discipline.
  • You can't cure him. He doesn't have a disease, just poor parenting. Continuing to give in to his demands will only make things worse. Your parents have to start setting limits. Children want and need them, even though they act like they don't. It takes more work than just giving in and that is why some parents don't do it, but look at the ultimate price everyone in the family is paying.
  • Ignore him, but keep him in sight in case of danger, but do not give in to his wants. He will become even more spoiled. You may need to give him a firm spanking when he hits, make it tough but fair. If he hits someone in school - they'll hit him back. He needs to know this.
  • I agree that he is a brat. He will most likely not be liked by most people and that is a shame because it is due to bad parenting. Your mom should take a parenting class and learn that her child must accept responsibility for his actions or it will continue into adulthood.It sounds like your mom just doesnt want to deal with him so give him what he wants and he will not make a fuss. The best advice I can give you is to always follow through with what you say and be consistent.
  • SPARE THE ROD SPOIL THE CHILD...kids like that have a hard time fitting into society better you spank him and talk to him about what he did wrong then some random kid gets fed up and kicks his ass into next year! just make sure you explain what hes doing wrong and what he needs to do to change it afterwards...u may need that nanny 911 lol GOOD LUCK
  • Poor parenting no discipline
  • First you should come to know that is his nature or there is any reason behind this. Other thing is, This is the common thing happens with most youngsters, and the major reason as i think is his friend circle so take care of it where does he go and with what kind of people he meets everyday if friend circle is the oly reason then give him some work of his interest so that he will be busy with his work and will avoid outing with those friends but the work you will give him should comes in his interest. Try to let him know about his responsibilities for his home. All the best.
  • Convince your Mom to wash his mouth with soap and smack his ass.
  • He is your brother so really there isn't anything you can do about this. Your parents should be teaching him better. I would suggest you don't allow him to do this to you though. Do not just agree with him and inform your mother that you don't intend to. Warn her that if he hits you you will pick him up and put him out of the room so that he can't. The best thing would simply be to avoid him as much as possible.
  • I'm no sure how old you are, but I am fairly sure you do not need to be responsible for raising your brother. Giving in to children all the time is not wise ... but it is wise to choose ones battles. I am not sure where along the spectrum your parents fall in this. Obviously, it appears to you that your brother is not getting the discipline he needs, but I would not want to second guess your parents from afar. Things may look different from their perspective. Maintain your own limits without trying to become your brother's parent. Some 4 year olds are high strung but good hearted. All of them are 4 though and they will test limits. If your parents right in, I might have more specific advice.
  • Follow thiese links and read them all. We had same problem.It is about structure. We had a school tell us there was nothing they could do. They were wrong.
