Moody isnt the word - watch out if he's tired! He is a big, super healthy strong boy but really when I pick him up from school 3.15pm he's on the edge! Fine when I see him but the minute I get him in the car he usually flys off the handle over the silliest of things and he's driving me mad!
Last night we sent him to bed at 6.45pm and was asleep at 7pm. Usually he goes 8pm so doesnt usually fall asleep until 8.30pm so is this too late and having a knock on effect.
Some people have their children up late at the weekends by its impossible with him, even as a baby he had to be in bed at 7pm - couldnt take him out at all.
I'm a bit concerned if taking him to any group/after school club is just too much for him to cope with.
Is this normal, He's pushing me over the edge and the evenings are frought with danger and feel so shakey some evenings from his extremes.
Excellent in school!
