How can I deal with friends who encourage bad behavior in their children?
As a parent, I don't feel that it's right to tell someone else how to raise/correct another persons child. Though you and I may find the behavior of their child offensive and expect the parents to be on the next episode of honey boo boo. If you notice your little one doing these gestures which you're speaking about, correct your child in front of those parents. This may send a message that you may not find what their child doing to be funny or cute. For me the best action is to remove yourself from that situation. I'm not saying remove them from your life, just stay "busy" when they ask for your child to come over. They may finally take the hint and finally ask you why. At that point, I'd explain to them as politely as possible that you don't like how your child mimics what their child does and it makes you uncomfortable.

Go and work out with him, make it interesting and fun. We all love games and novelty. You know him better, hence find an activity that would be appealing to him. Then use POSITIVE rewards, and in that regard guys a very easy. Trust me! Like someone suggested, play the "turn on card". Take him to the gym, and be flirtatious, guys love to stare at the gym! Do so only if this could be something that he would appreciate, and no feel threaten by. You know what he likes, so help him find an activity where he is most likely to succeed and create consistency. Do not set him up for failure and impose unrealistic goals. I also think is a good idea to reflect on your reasons and expectations. I suggest you to ask your self these questions: Are you a fit as well? Do you want him to increase his stamina, looks, health?

Help with my son he has very peculiar behaviour,?
Please encourage this behavior. My son was obsessed with putting hot wheels in a straight line. They would all face the same direction and sometimes my husband would turn one upside down or backwards and he would notice it right away and correct it. We would have a line of cars all over the house, so we kept buying cars. Children who enjoy things like this seem to have a better grasp of math and constructing and problem solving. We think he will be an architect or engineer when he grows up. He didn't talk until he was around 3 and when he started he was talking in full sentences. Your son sounds great. Encourage his way of thinking and playing, you will see in a couple of years how intelligent he is.
