I have done that. It makes him go legit insane and act like an animal. Then its like a Mexican standoff.
Then you haven’t done it hard enough. On a serious note, Have you thought about having him tested for autism? We had a friend couple that had twins that could not be controlled. Turns out, they were autistic the whole time. It was me and my wife that had pointed it out to them and then they started to notice the signs themselves

As a parent of two little kids, just here to offer support. It often feels like a thankless job (they will thank us later…maybe), but the fact that you’re looking for solutions means that you care and are doing your best.

We got him signed up for a behavioral therapist and an occupational therapist.
I don't have any more answers. This is absolute madness with this child. He's got something wrong with him beyond what I can deal with.
Beating the will out of him isn't the answer. It won't budge him. He's functionally stunted or something mentally. Today was not a good day.

Dont listen to any of this advice. You don’t beat a 3 year old that is having severe behavioral issues.
These people are fricking idiots. There Is a mental reason a 3 yr old is ripping his clothes off like that.

Alright brother.
Our youngest has SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and is on the spectrum.
My suggestion is to find an occupational therapist that specializes in it and follow their lead.
It’s a tough time, but that little boy is miserable.
Google what you can. Houston has several specialists.

Stop yelling and hitting.
You’re not bad people at all. Your emotional and at wits end.
There is a path.
Our boy graduated HS this year and is now an Eagle Scout:)
Head up brother

Sounds like classic autism

Normally I don’t give this advice, but my mother was a special ed teacher for 30+ years.
I worked with her running a summer program for these kids and it paid for my college.
You need to get your kid checked out by a professional.
Don’t be a parent in denial. You don’t want to send your kid through the public school system and him start getting naked. It could just be behavioral problems.

Hang in there, brother. There are excellent resources out there, and it’s amazing what caring professionals can accomplish. Your son is fortunate to have two parents who love him.

Don't discount am intellectual disability. I know there are stigma but if he has one it will only get worse untreated. My oldest has aproxia and has struggled through school. Behavior issues can very well be the result of frustration. Just remember they will grow up fast. Despite the struggle, I wish that I could turn the clock back 15 years.

My six year old’s brain is very similar to mine. We can only really focus on what we WANT to focus on. Otherwise, spanking will only help each time there are issues. For example, he will do what I want after spanking only because he doesn’t want to get spanked again. Tomorrow we would be right back to the same situation every single time. That’s how he was from 2-4. Daily spanking and yelling just to get him to choose between fricken chicken nuggets or a hamburger happy meal from McDonald’s.
You have pretty accurately described my 38 year old son. We waited to start him on medication (Adderall) until he was 16 and really wished he had done it sooner. I think it would have made a huge difference in his life. It definitely affects how he feels. I wouldn't say affects his personality, but more like he got used to the way he felt without it his whole life (a little out of control, thoughts all over the place, etc.) and he likes that feeling because it was what he was used to. He doesn't take it now because he just couldn't adjust to a quieter mind and being in constant control. However, his Jr and Sr. year of HS, we went from not being able to study at all, to being able to sit down and do a hour's worth of homework. I agree that their minds just work differently.
quote:
He has zero social issues, because he WANTS to play with his friends and he’s popular. He has a lot of friends. I tell people all the time he can’t quit the medication until he’s 18. I don’t want him to be the shithead kid in the class. I want him to be awesome.
Once again, you described him perfectly. Mine did quit it at 18.
