Deteriorated behaviour in 2yr and 6mth old.

[Captainbarnacles1101]

So my youngest is 2 and 1/2. His behaviour recently is bloody awful. He could find trouble in an empty room. And he has started constantly "crying" no tears just the noise and it's driving me mad. He asks for things then when I give them he doesn't want them. He isn't sleeping at night either waking 7-10 times and taking an age to settle. I'm exhausted and at the end of my tether. today he has emptied every box in the play room rather than do the activity I had planned for us. His brother has autism and he is beginning to bully him by taking toys off him and pushing him. It's shit! I'm so fed up this is my fourth child the others are 14, 12 and 4 and they were never like this. HELP. What's the best way to deal with this please.

No advice but my 2.7 year old ds is the same..he so very nearly drives me to tears daily, its so frustrating, with my LO its a mixture of boredom and him wanting to be more independent then he is able..hugs to you

And you louiseee??
I get the driven to tears thing. I wondered was he trying to get attention but then part of me feels he is spoilt also. I'm just at my wits end. How to u discipline ur wee man?

That's what my family say about my DS, atm he can be very demanding, all i get is "mummy do it" so trying to combat that first, when i say no he does this high pitched scream that goes right through me!
I try to be pretty consistent with the naughty step, not sure whether its working but i cant do nothing, the one saving grace for us is he sleeps well at night, he is an absolute horror when he doesn't sleep well, what do you do?
