Recent weeks have seen a new kind of behaviour. There's the mini meltdowns but recently it's been a possessed banshee with rude comments and outbursts. Over the smallest thing.
I have noticed that the Christmas period caused change in routine, and then this behaviour.
Today dd1 (3y2m) kicked off when her friend was round and she wanted a top like her. - we didn't have one. So she melted down, inconsolable, hitting out (a rare thing) I the. Took her upstairs to try calm her which didn't work. She then called me a"stupid git" and hit out at me. So I then let her just try to calm on her own. I went upstairs to find she had emptied all my clothes and washing all over my bedroom. -never done anything like this. And still inconsolable. For abut 30mins.
She has a younger sister (19m) and I'm due with dc3 in 2.5weeks but this has never been an issue. It's just seemin like she's testing a lot, also telling fibs, and lashin out since Christmas? Where it's been later nights and daddy at home etc.
Daddy is back at work, but she's use to that at he works anyway. Tiredness is a HUGe factor. She doesn't nap and hasn't done since about 2yo. But ten she just won't give in until 8/830pm which is too late considering she is only 3 and also starting morning nursery soon everyday
