My four year old won't do as he's asked!
Hello,
I have a four year old son who is in preschool and has a VERY dominant personality. He has troubles listening and following the rules. He wants to do his own things his own way. He has this problem at home as well. He bosses his 2 year old brother around and tells him how to play and gets upset when he doesn't listen. I don't want to pull him out of class but even his teacher is saying that he needs to learn how to be more tolerant of rules and better in the listening department. I have tried to talk to him but it is hard to get him to stay still and actually understand what I am trying to tell him. I don't want to pull him out of preschool because I want him to learn how to behave or the problems will be worse in kindergarten. Any advice you have would be great!
Thanks for your time,
Jillian
