attached four year old
My little boy has just turned four. He has a very strong will and is not very compliant. We have to negotiate about everything. He also acts out occasionally - shouting/screaming while I am on the phone to get me off it, refusing to do teeth, get dressed etc.Recently he has been in trouble for pushing another boy. Some parents have hinted that they think I am not strict enough with him and he is undisciplined. I have no support as I don't know any other attachment parents and feel a bit under siege. Am I on the right track? Do attahed children tend to be less compliant than other children and does this develop later. Please tell me your thoughts. I love him dearly and I feel like we are both in the dock here
