Eli is driving me crazy.  Sometimes we get stuck in these moods- he's argumentative and contrary.  Rude and demanding.  It's so triggering for me- I don't understand why it continues.  I try to remain calm and offer rewards for positive behavior.  Ignore and not give attention to the negative.  He continues...  I wish I had an expert to come in and help us. 
Why is there so much available for families of kids up to age 5- but not for older kids?

Anyways, here's a pic from Eli's recent birthday celebration.  He's 10!! Pizza and video games galore..
