I’m at the end of my tether with my 3 year old DS and wondered if anyone had some advice!
He turned 3 this month but since about Xmas he has been having horrible tantrums. Usually when he is asked to do something he doesn’t want to (tidy up toys, stop playing and leave the house etc). All very normal. We’ve been working really hard to help him with this by telling him well in advance of what is happening next, making sure he’s not tired/hungry/thirsty, rewarding good behaviour (lots of praise, little stickers etc). He has improved a lot but still has the odd epic tantrum, again pretty normal.
When he has these tantrums he screams hysterically, throws himself on the floor, hits and worst of all bites me. It has happened today and yesterday and the bites are so bad I have bruises and he’s drawn blood. It sounds pathetic but the biting is really upsetting me!
I bought that ‘teeth are not for biting book’ but he evidently hasn’t got the message!!
Any ideas how to stop the biting?
