I'm hoping to get some advice about my 3 and a half year old. Her behaviour has been hard for about 6 months, but it seems to have got much worse of late, and I'm struggling to deal with her.
Everything is hard with her just now. She never wants to go out, I've cut back on play dates cause she's rough with other kids, she hits family members and then laughs when we try to discipline her, she won't play by herself at all (the only time i get any break from her is when I let her watch TV and she would happily sit and watch it all day, it's all she ever wants to do) and she doesn't listen when we try to explain things to her.
She hates having to do any exercise, grumbles about walking and even the shortest walk takes an age! Yet she is totally hyper, throws herself around, jumps on top of us, and if we go out anywhere she is just uncontrollable!
She goes to nursery but isn't getting on very well there and since she's been going, she's got very anxious and worried about being away from me. Seriously considering taking her out and keeping her at home. Not sure what type of child care setting would suit her best, if any!!
She hasn't slept through the night for months, so I do think tiredness has a lot to do with her problems, but we've tried everything to try and get her to sleep better.
Has anyone been through the same with their child? It's a shame, as she's a bright, funny girl, but every day is exhausting at the moment!!!
