Yea that's exactly what I've been telling him. I also tell him when he's whiny and pouting that means he's tired and I make him take a nap but it doesn't really help much.
I guess when I say he acts older than he is it's in his development, he's more advanced than a 5 year old in a lot of areas, he's a smart kid.
I don't know the parents well enough to know their parenting style and nothing has ever been needed in the way of discipline and nothing where the parents have "given" in to anything while they have been here. There was only one incident where he was whining about something and his dad did stop it immediately and appropriately, but other than that I can't say.
I just feel like all day long I"m repeating the same things, I have been very consistent with him and I know there has been a lot of improvement from when he started, but there is still room for a lot more.
