Is 4-6 years old really the worst age for a kid?

Hello Fraggab and welcome to myLot. Welcome to wonderful world of parenting. Back when I was raising my kids it was the terrible twos that we dreaded. Parenting is so much different today than it was when my kids were that age. It seems that discipline has gone to the wayside compared to what it was back then too. Kids seem to rule the family these days. Kids seem to be more hyper too. This is causing some restaurants to ban kids under 6. If you don't ave control now you can look for a very hard time as your son gets older. When you have kids you have to have a different priority. A neat house is nice but your kids are little only once. Maybe you need to spend more time with him teaching him to color and reading to him so he learns how not to be hyper..

Awh.. is this for real? Well, I think kids of this ages were really annoying and irritating and they do lots of noises or things that will really make you mad sometimes you can't do anything to stop them. they do want to explore things on their own. do things which you don't want them to. I have a niece whose 4 years old now and studying. She is very hyper everywhere she goes. I find it hard how to manage my patience sometimes. Like you said, how worse can this be? I don't know the answer.I'm so sorry. We are both in the same situation...

I am a primary school teacher and I like teaching 5 to 6 year olds and 6 to 7 year olds. I am not keen on teaching 4 to 5 year old in the reception year. I think each child is different. One child can go through stages and this could include being annoying. I feel age 2 to 3 and a half is the terrible twos and happens to be quite challenging. Sometimes a school child can act up when he or she first goes there. At school a child can learn from others. Good luck.

close your eyes and imagine the days when you are 4-6? are you an angel? if not then you know now why... har har har. that is called karma. well just kidding. some doctors say that the attitude of children also depends of what food they eat. if they eat too much chocolate, cola and junk foods. and of course you also need to give them tough love. no is no. my wife is very firm when it comes to this, while i have a hard time doing this but i have to or else i might be sleeping outside.

Enjoy your son's naughtiness, kids are like that. I also think that once my kids grows us into young teens it would be easier to handle them..but I was wrong,the more they grow the problem becomes bigger as well. be a friend, my kids are not bully when they're smaller,but now as they grows into young teens...I am having hard time with them. So,I make friends with them and also adjust with their interest...now I act like their age,have to like their trend (hahaha) Anyway,I like it...feeling like a teenager again. have a good day always jaiho®

for me the worst age starts when they reach 2 years old or toddlers..it is where they want to wander and be curious of their surroundings..they will really test your temper..and it will go on until they grow older..

Hi Fragab, What does your son do that is so annoying? I had 4 kids and they all had their irritating little moments but I have to say that I loved it when they were that age. I had all girls and I have to say that the teen years was the roughest of all to deal with. I don't know how boys are but girls are really difficult as teens.

I think if you allow them to go worse then they will really turn worse and even worst. Naughtiness is bound in the heart of the child but you as a parent can always do something to disciple him. Train up a child in the way he should go so that when he is old he shall not depart from it. Parents are the children's guide toward righteous or unrighteous living. Whatever we taught our children will make or break them. You should train them to be good as early as they are born. Of course at age 4 and 6 they already know a lot and this age bracket is really crucial for their learning and training. If you then, as a parent is training your child to be a good and you are also a good example to him then you need not fear about him getting worse at all. That I assure you.

I have been wondering for the past 46 years what is the worst age for a kid. Now I think the worst is between 44 and 46 years of age . Each age is difficult for parents and sons (or daughters). Parenting is not easy at any age nor is easy to be the son or daughter of someone. Noone teaches us how to do it well. All we can do is to give our love and do the best we can. Luck!

Hi Fragab First, I differ with the opinion that 4-6 years is the worst age for a kid. I think

I can't say much about that, because I'm not a mother. But, for me, 4-6 years is my favorite age for my cousins. They were so much fun at this age and so cute!! Of course, they never wanted to stop to play, but, when I was tired, I put them on TV. But, to live with 4-6 years kids 24/7 must to be a really difficult task, specially if you aren't a patient person.

Do not feel your mentioned age limit as worse because children makes noise it is general for them. After grown up, you could not see those noise activities. Enjoy the activities of your kid.
