We just found out that my husbands little brothers father is very ill, and most likely will not make it past November, if that. 

My question to all of you... how do we help his little brother? He is 10 years old, and does not have alot of family. His support system for this is being fast constructed, but this type of loss will not be fast healing.

I know that my little one has had some melt downs lately. And it is no wonder, he wants freedom, and independence, is tired of being controlled... and would rather control me lol.

I was hoping to get feedback on what works for you. I know that there was a previous post about boredom, but I would like to incorporate true help for defiance, tantrums that are due to our little ones stretching their boundaries, and how we can keep our cool.
