Page 2 | Why is my two and a half year old behaving this way ? Is something wrong with him ?

He's turning into a menace. I keep getting reports from nursery that he hits, pushes, wants to go first all the time, snatches. Sometimes he doesn't listen. He winds up his older sister a lot too. He seems to find it fun. What can I do ? ?

Normal but tackleable!

DD tried it. Physically stopping them. Hands on shoulders, eyeball: "No Peter, we do not hit, we do not punch, we do not xx (add as appropriate)"
Remove from situation to somewhere boring. Do this until you think it cannot possibly be sinking in and it will.

Just before nursery, as you go in: "I am looking forward to hearing about your good behaviour today! What are you going to do that is kind?"

Consider employing these bad boys over the next 6 weeks too 😁
