Hi, just looking for a bit of moral support really. My 3 year old (was 3 in August) has always been "strong willed" (!), and had the occasional tantrum, but just the usual really.
Then this last week he has become impossible. From the second he wakes up until he goes to bed he is either moaning, shouting or screaming about something or other - it's wearing me an DH down. DS was poorly last week (bad cold, off nursery for a couple of days (he usually goes 3 days a week)), so I don't know if he is just finding it hard to get back to a normal routine, or he is pushing boundaries as he liked getting lots of lots of attention?
Am taking the approach of trying to keep calm, not telling him off but saying "you need to do x or y will happen" etc, and following it through, ignoring him when behaviour very bad and making a big fuss of well behaved brother (who is 5). That doesn't seem to be getting anywhere though, and I'm at a loss.
HELP!! Any thoughts/ suggestions greatly appreciated.
