I feel like I am getting violent to teach my son who is 7 years old. He is very mischievous and hard to teach. Whenever he watch tv and I off it, he will start shouting. At first I am very patient to ask him to study, use other method to coax him. My mother in law always give in to him and let him watch tv non stop from back to school until I come back from work around 7-8. He also never give in to his sister. They will fight and disturb my 5 months old baby. Early morning, he will also cry like mad and shouting to my helper if she is showering him . Just now before bed time, I used my hand to beat him. Omg. I lose patience. He shouted and shouted, bb woke up and can't sleep. I tried to teach him and even want to read books with him but whenever my in laws are around, things get worst.

Hi. Is your hubby helping in looking after and disciplining your kids? Grandparents tend to give in to whatever their grandchildren asks. As they say, parents disciple while grannies spoil :-) Perhaps your eldest is acting out and wants more of your attention. How about in your free time, you have a date with him. Take him somewhere just the two of you and have a talk. You can also schedule some time with him exclusively in the evenings, maybe 1 or 2 hours.
