Looking for some sage advice please from all you wise people out there!
2.5 yo DS has always been a bit tricky. He fights us on everything e.g. nappy changes, getting dressed, washing hands, teeth brushing, what to eat, when to stop an activity, leave a place, etc. He’s also a very lively, articulate kid who laughs a lot and gives us loads of hugs.
I’ve just had a call from crèche that his poor behaviour is escalating and he’s “becoming difficult to manage“. He won’t share at all, hits the other kids when he doesn’t get his way and goes into these meltdowns where he’s just sobbing and sobbing and is beyond hearing what the teachers are trying to say. We’ve experienced multiple similar episodes at home. He attends crèche 8 to 3.30pm five days a week as we both work full time. He seems to love crèche and is rarely reluctant to go in.
He’s an OC and has a very stable home life with DH, GD and myself. I think he’s a bit indulged by GD but otherwise we’ve really tried to follow all the general advice on relating to toddlers and managing their behaviour.
Feeling a bit worried and worn out this afternoon. I’d appreciate any advice on whether this might be a phase, something bigger than that and how to maybe manage it. Many thanks in advance for any responses.
