Just that really.
We have a community nurse who looks out for us since DS (2.8) was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in feb, i have just been on the phone to her as i simply don't know how to do anything about ds's behaviour.

I know 2yr olds are sometimes naughty and he will be 'pushing the boundries' but my lovley, friendly young man has turned into a distructive, violent little boy.

He has had a hell of alot to cope with this yr with treatment and hospital visits, meeting new people, having physio and medications, loads of stuff really butfor the last three or so weeks his behaviour is unbareable and has often had us in tears because we can do anything with him.

We have tried outting him on a 'naughty step' taking away treats ect but nothing works.

His poor baby brother is getting hit, bitten, pinched, screamed at and dp and i are going thorugh the same.

I am nearly in tears writing this as it is so ouut of charactor for him, everyone used to say how friendly and gentle he was.

I am so ashamed that i had to ask for help, i feel like a complete failure. hes my child and i should be able to cope.

i'm not an expert or anything, but all i would say that because of all the trauma he has been going through recently he hasnt been able to verbally explain how he has been feeling because he is only young, its the only way he has of expressing himself
hopefully as he gets used to whats happining and gets older so will be able to talk more his behavour will faze out

Oh sweetheart, you're not a failure at all.
You are a great mother who is asking an experienced professional for their advice and help.
That is what they are there for.
It'll simply be a matter of her suggesting some ideas that you might not have tried yet.
You are coping - by asking for a bit of help when you need it.

I kno it's not his fault, he has had more to cope with than ost people have in a life time and he is only 2!
The hospital team are trying to arrange some play and art therapy for him.

I just wish i could have my little boy back.
