My son is six yes old and he is very very troublesome :) naughty. What can we do. If they are inactive then also we will feel bad. let them be active as they can be like this only at this stage. This is their time which they can do whatever they want. But we should make them understand their mistakes and tell them not to repeat it. Most of them will not take it.but they will know that they r wrong.

Children will be children. I don't think there is much difference between girls and boys age 5. This is a age of wonder, discovery, experiments and exploring. The age of questions: Why? or Why not?. It can also be the time of testing the limits, bending the rules a little bit. Expect your 5 yr old to do things in a 'trial and error' fashion, looking for your approval or disapproval. That is his/her measuring stick to determine acceptable or unacceptable behavior in the home as well as outside. So,we the parents/guardians must set guidelines for our children which are age appropriate and which tend to nurture their best qualities. And we must be consistent in doing so even when they are persistent and sometimes seemingly stubborn in complying to our request. Be patient with them, they are only little adults in the making.

I am not sure that is the same in my household....my son is going to be ten in a few weeks and my daughter will be eight three days after that and for my household my daughter is the difficult one and even if she is two years younger, she has caused more of the "problems" than my son has. I think girls are more difficult then boys are by a huge margin. I know boys will be boys and do things like play with snakes and feed your dog dirt pie but the girls argue back and want what they want when they want it. I think if I had the choose I would raise 100 boys over one girl :) I love my girls but I know I am in for it when they get older...Give my son some legos and a video game and he is set to go.

I made a similar comment earlier...my 8 year old girl is far more "mouthier" than my 5 year old boy. He does go through spurts where he doesn't want to listen or pick up his toys, but at least he doesn't lie to me or argue with me over every little thing. I've heard other people say similar comments about boys, that they'd raise a house full of boys. I wouldn't mind another boy in the house, but after this new one I think I'm done for. I have a four month old girl now, and I'm sure hoping she'll make me change my mind and show me that not all girls are so mouthy :)

I don't know the difference because I only have 6 boys, no girls.

I believe that perhaps your child is simply more inrequietos than the first one because he is the second child,so many times understood that a second child desires to attract the attention,that he am an a little bothred by the fact to be the smallest of everybody.
Me this I have noticed him with my children:the second is a male and is a terrible now he is 7 years old,heis improving from when he has entered to school
I have seen how in these years my doughter has had the same behaviors that she had him but the first one never had

I have two boyz, both are very different. One is hyperactive and lands himself in trouble all the time. The other is very placid and self content. I think its not a question of wither its a girl/boy but rather the child. Every child is different and will face their own unique problems in life,boy or girl

I have a five year old son as well, and I feel he behaves much better than his older sister did at that age. In fact, she is the one I have problems with. She likes to lie a lot, and talk back. Sometimes I fear that she will continue to get worse no matter what I do to try to correct her. Is your five year old the oldest? I think my son has seen my frustration with her and he has tried to avoid the same actions.

All children are unique, and it's always a case to case basis. My brother who is older than me is much more behaved than I am. Could it be possibly because he is the youngest? Some children who are youngest in the family tend to be more spoiled.

A five year old kid is vigorous because he has a mental plan to apply what he learnt till now. And being a boy his juvenile hormones are being destroyed and the inactive stage is over. I am telling this because I am a medical student.
And children being very active can drive many parents crazy or frustrated. I would prefer you to fulfill the curiosity of your son and that will quieten him. Moreover if children are answered to their problems, the parent-child relation gets stronger and there is more likeliness for a better future.
And a girl is not curious at her infancy. Even if she is it's not as intense as a boy. So rearing a girl child is relatively more easy.
