I am at my wits end here. I have a really great kid, he is 5 and up until this point has been pretty easy going. Recently though, he has been breaking toys.. acting up, talking back. Really its beginning to drive me nuts. I am a gentle discipline mommy, but I find myself getting to the breaking point at times and I don't want to loose it. I will take any advice I can get on how to get him to realize needs to make better decisions. I know he is smart and he gets it but for some reason I feel like he is really acting out. HELP!!!! Pretty please!
I would just love him up and down and hope it passes, which I expect is exactly what you're already doing! 
People here will have good advice I'm sure.
