My little bean is just over 2yrs old (26mths to be exact). He's a lovely well behaved child, until this week. On Monday morning it seemed like my glorious little boy had turned into Jekyll & Hyde overnight. Getting him ready in the morning went from 10-15mins to taking a whole hour and then some. Shock There were tears galore, throwing himself around, pushing us away. All the usual tricks to get him back on track didn't work. My hubby and I were at a total loss. However, picking him up from nursery and for the rest of the evening, he was a total angel. This behaviour then continued on Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning. I'm dreading tomorrow morning now. Don't get me wrong. He has tantrums, but these seem to have suddenly escalated literally overnight. Please help ladies. What has happened to my little boy? Confused

It does sound within the realms of 'normal' sorry! Try letting him make more decisions so he feels more in control of life. As simple as what colour undies and T-shirt to wear will help.

@imnotaslimjim Thank you. No need to be sorry at all. Any advice is very much welcome. I'm a first time mom so it's all guesswork. I was worried because it seemed like a switch had suddenly been tripped in my boy and I wasn't sure if that's normal...except for me when it's lady time. Anyways, thank you for your suggestion, we will try getting him more involved in the morning routine and see if that helps. We've also decided to try and let hi. Wake on his own rather than being woken up by us. Fingers crossed. Thanks again Smile
