Hi ladies,

I have a very "spirited" 4 y.o son. He is constantly yelling and shouting and he has now started tantrums every morning over what he will wear that day. Sometimes I stand firm (like this morning) and he gets himself so worked up he is totally hysterical. I thought I did the right thing and gave him 2 choices of clothes but no he wanted the shirt that was wet on the line. It was really awful and I ended up yelling back and then my DD started crying and I felt like the most beastly Mummy in the world. His behaviour is becoming worse and worse and some days I feel like I can't cope anymore and just want to get in my car and drive away.

Any suggestions? I've tried "the naughty chair", tried taking away his toys, tried rewards for good behaviour...the list goes on and on.

I'm desperate....
