Are you after some advice on how to deal with his behaviour? Have you noticed anything that triggers of his tempers? Is he overtired? Does he still have a nap?

There are some good time out tips here and ask your HV what she suggests.

See if your library has got a copy of this book. It might help Smile

At 3 he could be tired without a nap. Have you noticed a time he is usually worse?

Did you have a look at the tips I posted?

Could you help him to understand his temper and control it? At 3 he may simply not yet have learned the skills to know how to calm himself down.
I can't advise on the time out, I don't use punishment.
