My son is a defiant boy, what strategy should I follow? Child disobedience is a turnoff, requiring appropriate parenting strategy to stop (as far as I know), but how to start and what steps consist the therapy?

Hi @Bloomming and welcome to ReachOut Parents!
It sounds like you are dealing with some challenging behaviours from your child. Can you tell us a little bit more about what behaviours you are seeing?
You've mentioned defiance, and this an experience so many parents can relate to. Would you be open to sharing some the of the strategies you have tried or considered so far?

Hi! What age is your son? Also what level of defiance and what behavioral issues is he displaying? For example: do you simply have to repeat everything several times, is he verbal and abusive, or is he physical?
And what "discipline" methods do you use when he acts that way?
