It's just Callum's behavior When he go when he has one of his tantrums or behave your problems It's like you can't tell him off. He'll scream shout first off It's like if I was to say no he does physically come up and hit me Because I've said no, what are you doing with my not telling no you can't hit me And I do put him in the porch. He put him in there for three minutes. What would you tell her that? Are you stupid? Why would you tell her that?

What do you think we have been like yeah, just recently We're only trying to get him onto it only on a night I mean like when he's playing outside give to his friends Painting on like the front is playing with him. So he goes and plays outside with the children Okay, obviously with children's behavior there's always there's a cause of behavior There's always a trigger isn't there and that's what we have to look at what is the cause and it could be the family environment It could be the outside environment here's his peers. Like we said, he's got friends that are older. What? There could be a lot of attributing factors for this little behavior it starts in the house though They definitely arguing and fighting in front of him when he takes those social cues and Thanks, it's okay.
