He is cheeky, chirpy and full of energy and always on the go. If he sees someone pull out the biscuits or snacks he's right in there, he has no spatial awareness, he'll nick other childrens toys, he'll shove them out the way if they have something he wants. Today he knocked one of his female peers off a little truck and pulled her hair.....I am finding it quite wearing as when we go to things I have to keep a constant eye on him - usually if there is a scream, he's involved. He is also quite the entertainer and unfortunately or fortunately an angelic looking blonde little boy who is commented on as being very cute but to me at the moment he seems to be the devil incarnate. He also will hit if cross or you tell him off. If he nicks something off someone else, I'll remove, distract and say no. If he hits, I'll say "no hitting" remove, get on his level and walk away. He invariably then cries and then wants a cuddle. He's pretty sensitive too - wants lots of cuddles from me and has a comforter. He's scared by loud noises and strange people so not brave and forward all the time. But he says a lot and is quite switched on too and won't sit down for five minutes - on the go constantly ! Just to give you a flavour .....Anyone any advice ?!
