Have had a harrowing day. This morning after taking ds to his bedroom to calm down. He threw a huge tantrum in his room and threw bricks around, he smashed one of the double glazed windows. He was very sorry after woods, said sorry and that ' shouldn't worry as daddy can fix it...'. Some time ago he again threw things (books) around his room and badly damaged the door.
I need to use time out to calm down as it gives me time to have break and not shout at him,and give him the chance to well I suppose, reflect.
He attends nursery and last week he had one of these outbursts at nursery where he launched himself at a 2 year old girl, they were understandably concerned and then also mentioned that he tends to shout when he is speaking and is not keen on copying phonic sounds such as 'k' and mma etc... He tends to growl a lot like a cheetah, tiger, bear this usually proceeds some sort of out burst. Does any one have any helpful approaches that have been beneficial and effective. Of note he still needs a daytime sleep most days for about an hour and a half, when he is not cross he is thoughtful, chatty, full of energy. Sorry for the long post, thanking in advance for anyone's input
