Is his behaviour normal?
Our youngest son, 2 in March, seems to be the spawn of Satan and I'm worried his behaviour isn't normal.
He goes out of his way to do anything destructive or messy. If it's powder or cream, washing up liquid, or his favourite, cat biscuits and water. These items are not normally within reach and the poor cats have to run an obstacle course to get to their food, but every chance he has he destroys things. Rips up books, pulls labels of things, he delights in smearing food everywhere and deliberately spills food all over the food every meal. He's now learned he can spit out his juice every time he drinks. I'm actually worried he will become dehydrated because more juice goes out than in!.
He climbs everything, and I mean everything! I'm constantly removing him from the top of the changing unit, and I've made every effort to make it impossible to do so, but he goes finds things he can stand on to reach places he's not allowed. Every cupboard has to be locked or jammed shut. The front door has to be locked and key removed, because he bolts the second he gets the chance.
He doesn't have the best speech, but he is perfectly capable of understanding, yet he does not flinch when I explode (I've tried the calm practical approach, we've gone way past that... And I'm worried he will really hurt himself one day). He does not stop what he's doing when told, he point blank ignores me when I say stop, and defies every chance he gets.
What on earth do I do? Is this normal? Anyone else have a feral child?
