VerifiedDrPsychologist :
I am happy to help...I am a psychologist and also a mother of a 3 year old boy.
DrPsychologist :
it sounds like he is testing the limits so the best thing you can do is to set a limit and identify consequences if your son does not follow through. You also need to tell him what the consequences would be ahead of time so he knows the behavior expected of him and what to anticipate if he does not follow thorugh.
DrPsychologist :
A useful book to review is 123 Magic.
