How can you handle a very hyperactive nephew that would not even listen to you??

You should ignore him as well. You got to show him whose the boss. Just ignore him and let him be. If he annoys you just walk away. If he touches and meddles with your things, try to keep it away from him and continue to ignore him. Hopefully, he will run of energy and would back off.

pre schoolers really love to have their independence and prone to tantrums. if he wants something give him a choice or an alternative for what he wants, by this you give him the freedom to choose that makes him practice his independence..... and also you will gain his trust.

Your nephew is probably behaving like that to get attention and he feels like he is winning if he makes you cry. I think the best thing you can do is not to let him know that he gets to you. As soon as he starts yelling at you or throwing things, very calmly but firmly, send him to another room where he can't annoy you for "time out". When he sees that his attention-seeking ways aren't working, he will stop. Good luck, andyel. When he calms down, reward him for being good by playing with him and giving him attention so he sees that good behaviour will be rewarded but bad behaviour will not be tolerated.

When I was in college I babysat my neice a lot, everyday when I'm not in school. When she acts up (like your nephew does), I'd just sing (doing my rockstar impression) and ignore her. The louder she gets, the louder I sing. Eventually she'd just sit silent and watch me. Then she'd say, "uncle, you're crazy". And I'd say, "yeah I know, that's why you act crazy too sometimes", then we'd have a midday snack together.^^

if the boy's health is in no way affected, i think there's no cause for alarm. I advise that you play ball with him sometimes, nevertheless introduce corrective measures in handling him, while he can still be reformed. But basically, if his health is not affected,leave him to cry his eyes out. He'll soon get used to it.

That sounds like one of my cousins. He is very hard headed but try reverse psychology, it might work! hehe

Yes,I also experience that kind of situation... I have a niece who is already 6 (she had her birthday last June 25).. Actually, she is a spoiled girl.. All the things that she wants, her mother gave it and also her grandparents... When every time she wants something it must gave it to her or else she will freak.. She will make unnecessary noise that would really irritate you and make your head ache.. Sometimes if I am very irritated and mad at her I will scold her attention and give her some punishment like she can't watch cartoons or play outside.. The child really need some discipline.. The more she is getting older the more her attitude and behavior worst..
