Really don't like 3yo DS at the moment

[StealthPolarBear]

He is screaming on his bed (punishment) for the second time today. After the first time we did a jigsaw together then he started having a tantrum.
He is not listening when I talk to him, not doing as he is told, and smirking when I tell him off. He is tantrumming and wingeing.
I have read how to talk, think I need to re read it.

I could have written your post myself as my DS is the same and he is nearly 4

He has been like this for the past 6 months and it is so frustrating, everything is a battle of wills, nothing is easy and my patience is tested to the limit

I love hime dearly but it is so hard but i understand perfectly normal at this age

All I try to do is be consistent in my rules and hope the phase ends soon

sorry to hear this
will reply in more detail later
right now I would happily strangle DS
I need a break from both of them (DD is howling today_
He has also regressed toilet trainng wise and its accident after accident
