I have a hard time sometimes too. Its normal.. don't feel bad! Raising a child is not all gold and hugs and kisses and i love you moms..

Im curious as to how you are reacting when he acts out. Do you lose your temper? Do you stay calm? Do you lash out? Do you just ignore him? Tell me more if you can about how you deal with his agression and his issues. Give me some examples if you can of a situation and how you deal with it. This should help me give you some advice from my not-so-humble opinion :P

I am an attachment parenter, so I guarantee i can give you some great ideas for bonding with your child - you are welcome to take whatever you like and apply it, and discard the rest if it doesn't apply. The better your bond with your little fellow the easier its going to be when you need to guide or discipline him. However, I have to make supper for my own little monkey right now, so beg pardon, but ill be back after supper to finish this post

Perhaps in the mean time if you get this you can type out some info I asked about, like the ways you deal with him and your reactions to his acting out. That would be most helpful
