I'm wondering if anyone had that and it eventually got better.
DS is 4.5 and everytime he watches TV he lashes out afterwards. He will just pick a fight and scream, sometimes hit or throw something and it escalates into tears, shouting, slamming doors.
It's not because he wants to watch more TV and I'm not letting him, it happens even when he decides he's had enough and switches the TV off himself. He is a really chilled out boy and we don't have any issues with his behaviour outside of this, so it has to be linked.
I'm now worried it's because he's not been used to TV enough when he was little, which I know isn't a bad thing but isn't it a bit weird that he can't handle it at his age? He never watched much TV until he was about 3 and now only watches about an hour or so on weekend days, just age appropriate stuff.
Last week he was up every night when he's usually a good sleeper, and I realised that as it was half term he had been watching some TV everyday and am convinced that's the reason. He would wake scared, crying, not wanting us to leave his side.
Should I just not let him watch TV until he is older?
