I have had the most embarassing moment so far when I picked up my son from nursery today, he is 4 years old, he hide his face on his top looked sad and said I don't want to go with this one (meaning me), and kicked me. He has been to full time nursery since he was 9 months old.
I don't know what the problem is, Possible issues: he could be jealous, he has a 8 months old sister, I was carrying the baby on the baby bjorn when entered his class. Onother possibility, he is angry with me because I am more strict with him than my husband is with him. My son generally has a bad behaviour, ( I guess quite common at his age), doesn't want to go to bed, doesn't want to sit on the chair when eating, doesn't want to get dressed in the mornings or undressed at night, he doesn't want to eat what is on the table, ... ( im not too sure, if it is really common), but very often he doesn't want to cooperate and we do time out if needed.
In addition to all the above, my husband is now often travelling for work, which means he is not around as much, when I was pregnant or the baby was younger my son and my husband would play a lot together more than me. As I wasn't feeling well or busy with little baby. So maybe it is a combination of all the above, but any advice on what to do would be great!
