Hi everyone!

I have 3 boys ages 8, 6 and 4 and a little girl that's 20 months.  I have a boy on the way but I'm concerned my 4 year old will be more than brutal.  I've been having behavioral issues with Andrew ever since he turned 4 and it's made him quite unpredictable.  He's constantly arguing with me, which I know is somewhat normal, but his violence is a bit out of control.  On a daily basis he hits his brothers and picks on his sister.  I'm worried that it might get worse when his baby brother arrives and there's less of me for him.  With the baby due the end of September, I have to act fast, but what do I do?  Any advice would be appreciated.

Gotta love those boys.  There are fun and will sometimes wear you out.

When you first join the group it would be great if you say hello on our message boards
