ds2 is usually a very placid boy. He will sit and play and I don't know I have got him. But lately, he will errupt into such a temper, he ends up either physically hurting himself or someone else. He goes from one extreme to the other. One minute, playing fine, next minute, throwing punches at his big brother and sister. He really screams/growls at people. He started nursery 2 and a half days a week in april and he loves it. We have always used time out/naughty step as a form of punishment/reflection with all of our children but it's just not working with him. He will sit playing something and all off a sudden get up and jump around screaming and throwing whatever he was playing with around, often at some innocent person who happens to be in the room at the time. His speech has really come on since starting nursery and you can hold a good conversation with him, so it's not like its a communication issue. He constantly follows his big brother and sister around and hits them for no reason. He throws toys for no reason. He just seems as though he has got to destroy things. He goes to bed at 7pm and sleeps til 7am. I watch what additives are in food etc. If I give him a warning about his behaviour, he usually just screams and me and throws whatever is within reach at me, so I follow through and put him in the front door porch to chill out for a few minutes. When I tell him he can leave there, he just screams at me again or stamps his feet and runs off screaming. I am really at a loss with what to do with him. Please help me.
