The lead up to half term was pretty rough. DS, only just 4 and just started Reception, was experiencing some physical bullying at school. Nothing done about it because it happened at lunchtime when supervision seems to be minimal. Then DS hit one person once and got into big trouble.
During half term I thought that he needed to have a calm week but he has tended to mostly hit me and his older sister, tell me I am rude, horrible, nasty, ruining his life etc. We haven't really been out much because when I tried on Monday and Tuesday his behaviour was incredibly difficult - this is impacting on his sister.
A friend came round today. He was so angry that I was talking to her that he hit me, screamed etc. She made quite a hasty exit.
I am full of cold and am having the period from hell so to be fair I am not being supermum anyway and sometimes I'm shouting back at him.
I can't see how to help him. He is so angry - but then he has lovely moments when he tells me he loves me and comes for a (very quick) cuddle.
Can anyone shed some light on what I could do - without it having yet another negative impact on his sister, who is now starting to lose her rag too.
