Would tell him that I’m calling mom or dad, if you don’t behave!
@JJJones i have tried that…i have tried EVERYTHING and i have no idea how to control this child
“I am babysitting my brother ”
He is your brother??? Kick his little butt.
@ChazMaz I don’t want to get in trouble for it lol
How do i scare him without violence haha
He’s got you Finger-Wrapped! put him in the Corner until he behaves. In the future Always reward him when he is good and just change things when he mis-behaves (distract)!
@phil196662 He will not stay in time out lol
He WILL NOT do anything i say and unless i strap him in a chair with a rope he will do whatever he wants
My parents used a strap to good effect in my case, I have no idea what is PC now, having no children.
Distract… Take him outside changing the environment because in the house he knows all and is King, then outside it’s on your terms and he doesn’t know it but then Praise him when he’s Obedient and not a little Brat. And No soda or sugar of any kind to make him Hyper.
Never too late, 15 yo teens Can be Trained too! got to find what Distracts him and and gets him to Take Notice- Sometimes just sitting down, looking discreetly for his safety and Not responding to him could make stop. It’s the Input that could be fueling him.
Ahhhhh- Now when he responds positivly then change things totally to get him out of that Mode he was in.
