My DS was 2 in December. He has always been such a happy, placid, polite little boy. 4 weeks ago I had our daughter. In the last 2 weeks he has changed so much and I'm really worried.
He throws huge temper tantrums for very little reason. For example, this morning he didn't want to eat his weetabix. Normally he would say "no thank you Mummy, had enough." But this morning he started screaming, crying, banging his hands off the table and shouting. He throws toys, his lunch and anything else he can find.
He is interested in his baby sister and wants to give her kisses and cuddles, and I know it will be a big adjustment to having a sibling. My husband and I are arguing constantly, and now it's started to happen in front of him which I really don't want to happen.
I feel so guilty that our DD has caused such a huge issue in our house and have been crying several times a day for the past 2 weeks. I don't know what else to do.
If anyone can offer any advice on managing this behaviour (I'm a teacher so I should know how to deal with this but apparently I don't!) and share any similar experiences I would be really grateful. I just feel very alone and unsupported right now.
