My 4 year old DS is close to my highest maintenance kid. Lately he's decided not to listen to me at all, really has me doubting my behavioral strategies. I'm hoping that with enough consistency, it'll click with him.

My issue is that he's the oldest one here, and doesn't have anyone his age/developmental group to play with. And he won't be in school in September either (not mandatory in AB, I've decided to keep him home for numerous reasons). I feel for him, but at the same time, it's not ok for him to tells no and refuse to follow directions.
