Hi.
I have a toddler (2.5 years) that doesn't attend Nursery, we attend play groups, parks and soft plays. I am a SAHM and during school hours it's just me and him and he has my undivided attention. Lots of cuddles and giggles etc.
Cue 3pm, the older 3 return from school, naturally I'm chatting to them how their day went. I have 5 year old DD and she likes a lot of cuddles after school.... all fine.
My toddler turns into this green eyed monster and cannot cope with sharing his mama. He will literally pull at her hair, pinch and push. She will fight bk and I'm left with screaming kids and it's not even 5pm. He goes for other two aswell, but not as much.
My toddler has been doing this since school started back this term, but last few days it has escalated.
I have tried sitting them all down, tried to get them to interact with one another. But any chance he gets he will lash out.
He hasn't developed very much in his speech mostly uses one word to communicate his needs. Perhaps he is frustrated.
I really don't know what to try with him. They all want to play with him and cuddle him when they are back from school but sadly he doesn't want any of it.
Any ideas on what I could try?
