If you don't want to buy your child toys cause you will steel them. Door knobs and light switches are an excellent substitute. I do that with my mates child, he wants to touch my tfs. I show him the light switch or door knob and he forgets the toys completely.

I find that kids (well atleast my kid) is only interested in a toy until they know how it works. My son has a sh*tload of toys he doesn't use because he has worked them out and he'd rather be outside with me cleaning/working on my car/pool/bbq, doing the mowing whatever the weekend chore may be.
Maybe it's the way I've raised my son but having a child is very full on. I can't understand these people who have kids just for the government money. They must have very docile children or great babysitting contacts.
PARENTAL BRAG COMING UP
Although my son is very full on and ALOT of work I am proud to say he is 2 years old can say the alphabet, count to 15 in English, 10 in italian, knows about 20-25 words in Italian and their English translation. (Not saying he only says 25 words. He only says 25 words in Italian) has advanced passed basic nursery rhymes and prefers to sing songs like "Farmer in the Dell" and knows the basic fundamentals of driving a car.

I guess parental opinion is relevant to the age of your kids. I find as my three get older (eldest has just turned 5) i have to re adjust my tactics as their character changes/ matures that little bit.
Lol, its good if you like surprises! I must admit though i do look forward to when each child shows a new talent or attitude, keeps life interesting. My eldest is just at that age where he pretty much looks after himself which is quite good.
My middle son has Down syndrome which can throw a few challenges up every once in awhile and although he generally is no different to the others he does have some health issues and is probably a little slower than the others. I tell ya i could write a book about his life journey (and hes only three)! But ive seen some kids that are "normal" which have more issues than he does.
Bartrim, I wouldnt panic too much about the hitting- he may well grow out of it. My five year old went through a stage like that and the two little fellas are are going through it now. They dont call them the terrible twos for nothing!

Yes, my previous comments were just a very broad generalisation; based on my personal observation and experience - and as a teacher, not a parent. So while I am eager to learn more about the world of parenting I sadly have no experience in this field. Yet.
And I have come across quite a few exceptions to that generalisation, and I honestly do feel very sorry when I see good, caring and very supportive parents at their wit's end dealing with very challenging behaviour from their kids. But in my observation/experience the generalisation is true for the majority of kids I come across. It's not to say that they're all like that though.
I don't blame parents for everything when it comes to kids - ultimately everyone is responsible for themselves - but I think that parents certainly do play a very large role in shaping what kind of person a child will become. I suppose it's the whole "nature vs. nurture" argument.
That's a very good point. Glasser's Choice Therapy basically says not to look at children as necessarily good or bad people, but to examine the choices that they make as good or bad decisions.
I know the frustration of seeing kids make unfortunate decisions despite everything you do for them. But ultimately it's their lives - and they have to live with the consequences of their decisions, for better or worse. That's life. And sometimes kids need to make the wrong decisions in order to learn things (after all, Albert Einstein failed school
I have fond memories of meeting your son. Seemed like a decent young man to me.
