I've had my ds (3.5) for a day of one on one today, and I was really looking forward to it, but as ever, didn't go as planned. I feel like one of those mothers you see who totally can't control their children. He was off wriggling, running about, talking loud and making escape attempts in the cinema ( I can let this go , he is only 3) bu tout in public his behaviour is really bad. he won't listen to a word ||||I say, won't stay with me, won't hold my hand etc. At one point he actually ran across the road, which he has never done before. He is usually very sensitive and cautious. he doesn't seem like my same little boy. I have had reports of naughtiness and mischief and general misbehaviour from his teachers as well for the last few weeks.
I really want to support him, but don't want to come across as soft. I want to nip this in the bud before he turns into one of those awful supernanny kids, but I really don't know how.
