DS is just 4. DD is 16 months. DS has been pretty challenging, at home anyway, since just over 2.
All normal things I'm sure, with added wilfulness and contrariness.
We bumble along using the occasional reward chart, and were doing ok until recently.
This morning for example he has either sat on me and pressed his body into my face, or elbowed me continuously, or followed me around angrily telling me to go away mummy(?!). He pulls at and hangs off my clothes. He growls at me! He screeches if he is told off (eg "don't throw that DS" "SCREEECH"). He often raises his hand as if to hit (and sometimes does hit) like a threat. He whinges and cries all the time. He never wants to go out (but enjoys it when we are out). He still puts toys in his mouth all the time, so I can't get him proper lego or Playmobil or anything.
I just need to know if this is 'normal'. Can anyone recommend me an appropriate book?
