Oliver's going through a demanding/cocky streak at the moment too and I agree with Mandy that if he doesn't ask in a respectful manor then he doesn't get.
We have also started a daily reward chart again too. Eg; this morning he was telling me to go upstairs, I replied 'one moment..mummy just busy doing this job then i'll be with you' he didn't like that reply and proceded to throw a toy at me
so I just remained calm and took him to the chart and showed him the consequences of his actions
(he gets a
face when naughty and a
when he's done a good thing)
He's not normally like this, I suspect its because he's on half term and seeing very little of his daddy due to work
..and just generally bored with me
