This sounds really weird but from the moment he wakes up until the moment he goes to sleep it's 'something' that he's doing to annoy, provoke or just generally misbehave.
The reason I'm asking for advice is if someone was to ask me 'what' is it precisely he does me and DH would struggle to verbalise it.
The behaviour is just insidious, so small, silly continuous things that have us constantly feeling that we're holding back a flood. We say his name constantly, constantly to keep him on track.
It sounds like a load of silly little things but it's the continuous nature - so asking for something repeatedly until he gets it, unable to stop himself. Running around after sister. Taking things off sister. Jumping about.
It makes us feel like we are constantly having a go at him and that can't be good for his self esteem. It makes me feel negatively toward his behaviour and he doesn't deserve it. He deserves to feel happy and not constantly monitored and told off.
We've been down the whole medical route after concerns were raised at nursery and then school. But absolutely nothing was found to be 'the matter'.
It's like he needs constant one on one to behave.
School, I think, seem to feel that he's settled in now.
Any advice appreciated.
