DS is almost 3 (next month) and has speech and communication difficulties. We have been chasing a 'diagnosis' and support for months, paid for private assessment but seems nobody has hit nail on the head yet about where his delay is stemming from.
He knows plenty of words but speaks in rehearsed soundbites, doesn't ever tell us he is tired/hungry/sick, doesn't really ask for things. Other people don't understand him at all.
He started potty training but regressed and now pees anywhere (tends to strip off as soon as he comes into the house) and won't keep nappy or pants on.
In the midst of all this, his little sister arrived 6 weeks ago and I know this can't help - I am really trying to be patient with him but his tantrums hard to deal with when I am exhausted from night feeding or baby is crying for food (is bf).
Today he threw my phone at DD and hit her head. I just didn;t know how to discipline him and cried my eyes out 
.
I just don't know how best to help him, and how to be a good parent when everything is such a battle
