Re: Temper Tantrum during exchange - suggestions?
|
I am having the same problem with my 5 year old son. When it is time to pick him up from his moms, he starts whining and saying he doesn't want to go. He wants to stay and play with his step daughters. He starts kicking and screaming as I put him in the car. Un-buckling his seatbelt, hitting, etc. During this spanking, etc. has no effect. After the fit which can last 5-15 minutes, he falls asleep and when he wakes up he is the best kid. He says he didnt kick or scream and is remorseful. The mother says he only acts that way with me, which is not true. When he doesn't get his way he does this with grandparents, etc. Happens about 2-3 times a month.
His pediatrician said I should take him to see a therapist. I don't know what to do.
