DS has been going through a spell of unprovoked violence, anger, shouting for about 18 months and it's getting worse. It's got that I'm not socialising because he refuses to share and will attack other children for no reason (example I attempted playgroup last week, used to go a lot but because of his behaviour not been for a while, as soon as we walked in he ran up to a girl and pulled a clump of her hair out).
It's also aimed at me and his younger sister (11 months) and DH sometimes.
I have tried, playing with him one on one in playgroup environments (obviously we do at home), positive praise, time out/naughty step, taking toys away or just walking away.
We talk about what is expected of him and he even says "I mustn't bite or hit or push other children", "must be kind to Dsis".
Have spoken with HVs and someone is coming out Tuesday.
It's really getting me down. It's sooo tough (I knew being a parent wouldn't be easy, but this is so unbelievable hard).
So, I'm asking the people of mumsnet for....something?! Just feeling isolated and need some pointers,advise, lifelines to keep us going until Tuesday.
HELP!
