Question
Hi,
We're visiting our son, his wife, and our only grandson, who is five years old. He is rather spoiled and often behaves brattily.
When we go over for dinner (we're staying at a VRBO), he says things like "don't look at me," "I don't want you here," and "I don't have to do what you say." He behaves this way around his parents as well. For example, he still sleeps in their bed and has a messy room. Interestingly, he is better behaved when they aren't around.
How can we address this behavior with his parents in a way that best helps him?
Thanks for any tips!
