This is a plea for help & sort of a rant roled into one so bare with me!
My son, who is coming up for 3years old, is driving me insane. He hits, bites, pushes, shouts, screams & I've no idea what to do with him as I seem to have tried everything! He bullies his younger brother (who is 1 this month) if he doesn't do what he wants he will hit him, usually using a toy as a weapon, get right up in his face to scream at him or any other thing he can think of to terrorise the poor soul! The naughty step kind of works, for example if he was out on the naughty step for hitting, he would apologise etc & stop hitting but usually find something ten times worse to do afterwards. My partner also has a son that is a year older, who he also bullies, it's getting to the stage that they cannot play together for longer than 5 mins without it kicking off. At nursery all I hear is 'he's had a good day' or 'he's been brilliant' bla bla bla bla but even I have witnessed him pushing & hitting other children at nursery. He has often been sent home from his nanas for bullying my little brother (he's 11 so won't fight back but also doesn't want to stand for his rubbish) whenever I mention his behaviour to the health visitor or anyone for that matter all I seem to get is 'it's the terrible twos, he will grow out of it'. I am at my wits end!! We spend day after day in the house because I am too scared & nervous to take him anywhere in case he injures someone else or even himself! Help!?!?
