Hi all,
Looking for wee bit of advice or even reassurance here.
I am becoming increasingly worried about my 3 yr old son. Generally, I'd have to say he is quite unhapppy and difficult. Hes very hard work in terms of behaviour - shouts, won't do as told, difficult to feed, cries a lot and a bit destructive - hard to put into words exactly, but just not "happy".
I work 3 days a week and he goes to nursery 2 days until 3.30 when he is picked up by a neigbour and on the 3rd day only does half a day. He has never really settled at nursery despite going since he was around 13months. He crys when I leave him and they often say he is a bit withdrawn and cries at mealtimes there. When I ask him about nursery he says he doesn't like it and in particular, one of the staff there.
Its really starting to worry me. I don't think I deal with his tantrums in the best way and feel bad that on the days I do have him I seem to spend a lot of time fighting with him - he is a lovely little boy really and its breaking my heart to see him so upset. Is the problem really nursery do you think? If so, I would give up work.........I also have a 15 mnth old and am 12 weeks pregnant....
Or is all this normal for a 3 yr old???
Hoping someone has some advice & thanks in advance.
