The kid needs a dad and his mom. He wants attention. He wants to be loved. He needs to be understood. The TV shows he sees are just but contributory factors to his behavior but the main thing is, he needs to be held, embraced, heard, and paid attention to - he needs human attention. The mom and you may try to make the kid feel he is wanted, that he is accepted. This may cost your precious time and extended patience, but I am sure this will work, after all, he is only 4. Spend time with him watching tv, even for just a few minutes a day. Laugh with him. Sing with him. Be a friend to him. Listen to his interests. Take notice of the things he enjoys, and those that fears him, etc. You can be like Superman, Batman or Captain America in disguise. Catch his attention by becoming his friend who would not just scold him, but would his "buddy"... Be a dad to him...embrace him, accept him, if not too much, love him. Then, tell him of the things that makes you glad, and the things that annoys you. I bet, he will start behaving like you expect him to be. Not a perfect 4-year old but normal one. Good luck. God bless you! By, the way, he is a gift��
