My DS1 is now 2years2months and the past couple of months have become increasingly difficult. Everytime he realises my DH and I are getting ready for work which is only 3 days a week, he knows he is going to nursery and starts behaving really badly, crying, wanting to be held etc.
This has recently progressed to not wanting to be left at bedtime. He's in a toddler bed and has been for a while and everytime I put him into bed he asks me to lie down with him. I say no and leave the room and he's straight out of bed, opening his door and screaming. We put a stairgate in front his door so he can't get out but he now climbs over that and lands on his head.
People have told us to be firm and keep going up and putting him back etc etc but he doesn't seem to be the average child. He will quite happily continue like that for three or four hours. Then of course he's exhausted the next day.
I don't want to get him into bad habits but am at my wits end. I'm pregnant with ds/ds2 and absolutely exhausted. Please help!
