.. hard enough to draw blood three times, hit me and pinched me more times than I can count... About 12 months ago I remember asking people (can't remember if it was on MN or in RL!) what to do and they said 'it's a phase'/time out/say 'no'/use distraction. And I did it all. So why is he getting worse and worse and worse? He thinks 'time out' is a game. He won't stay in one place, so I started using the cot, but now I go back in to find him bouncing on the mattress shouting 'boing! boing!' in his cot, perfectly happy. He laughs when I tell him that he's hurt me and I'm sad. I don't smack him and I don't want to start, although I was close to walloping him when I saw the mess he's made of my face today (a bite mark on my cheek and a bleeding scratch from one eye...) He is everyone's favourite child - favourite grandson, teacher's pet at nursery, people tell me how lucky I am to have such a good boy. Then there's this flipside to him which is just not nice. HELP! And a little louder... HELP!! Please?
