My boys broke up on Wednesday and they have gone from being quite chilled (well for them they are quite hyperactive) to the kids from HELL.
My 5 year old refuses to eat meals but wanders around saying I am hungry, whining and breaking into screams everytime his big brother touches him.
Whilst my 7 year old spends every minute winding his brother up.
And they spend the entire time in a tangle in the garden alternating between laughing and crying. Just spent an hour in the garden with them and I feel like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards.
Now they are infront of the tele and I am unwinding ready for the next onslaught.
Don't know whether to come down really hard on the violence, ie; naughty step or just to let them get it out of their system and my normal positive re-inforcement strategy??
Any thoughts.
