Okay, I am really getting tired of bad behavior and feeling that the 2 brothers I watch just don't seem to get it. I have decided that maybe if I think of them as a little slow, maybe that will help me to have more patience with them. They have very poor communication skills, are not articulate at all. I don't believe my girls are genius children, but they are very verbal and I have never had trouble communicating with them. These boys are 3 and 5 and really do not seem to answer questions, or engage in a conversation. I find it very frustrating. I had to teach them to ask for things because their family, mom, grandmothers just give them everything before they ever have to even ask. I feel bad, but they are slow, maybe not because they were born that way but because they have not really been taught anything. Does it make sense? I feel I am losing my mind and I dread them coming because they just do not understand anything I am trying to teach them. It takes SO long to get through.
I really do not think I am a better parent than anyone else, I feel I am average, my kids are average, and I just do not understand why I can't get through to them. I am running out of options. My house and everything in it is going to be torn to shreds if I do not figure out what to do. I watch them like a hawk, but as soon as I go to the bathroom or something they go ape on me! Any suggestions are much appreciated. We do time-outs and when they are extreme, they go to the corner for a time-out. I know some of you probably have children with bad behavior, what do you do?
