So my DS is 3 and has always been a bit of a nightmare child. He has always cried A LOT! Just recently he has started throwing the most horrendous screaming fits over the slightest thing, often because he doesn't like what I've made for tea or something isn't going right for him.
He screams with absolute rage and it just goes on and on. So I've tried putting him in his room and shutting the door, ignoring him, shouting at him but nothing seems to work. The rage just goes on and on. I've even had our next door neighbour banging on the wall (and they have a cheek but that's another story).
Does anyone have any tips on ways I can deal with these episodes? Thankfully he doesn't do it in public, just at home and also at grandparents house. Yesterday he had 3 of these episodes and I'm really at my wits end with him - I feel like running away. Everyone told me after he turned 3 he would probably get better but I think he's getting worse!
Oh and he's an angel at nursery.....
