So for the last week or so my ds has been having meltdown's of biblical proportions.
The first part of bedtime goes as usual. When I try to leave the room, he wants light on/toy/nose blown/pee whatever. When he then gets what he wants and I go to leave the room again, he's changed his mind and doesn't want it anymore or wants it done again. So on, so forth. If we leave him to cry (and wake his 1yo sister) he becomes hysterical, bangs head on wall, rams knee's against stairgate. Continue for 2hrs approx. We're at our wits end. Have tried cc/gradual exit etc. Have removed all toys/lights from his room. Have screamed/shouted to my shame and have also completely ignored him. No change. He's very clever and understands that he is doing wrong, but doesn't seem to give a shit. Any tips/tricks/commiserations?
TIA
