My recently turned 4 year old is so incredibly difficult, I have no idea what to do really. He has been difficult since he was born, but I assumed it’s his personality. Since he was born he has woken screaming, daily. He stopped only very recently when his younger brother turned 1ish (He Himself was 3 years 9ish months). But when he wakes up he will not stop talking and repeating. He won’t give you a second to wake up, or he won’t wait 5 seconds for you to physically get out of bed. He’s just wild... He doesn’t give you a second to think before he’s repeating. It’s a total head-rag ALL day.
all day he’s screaming about things (he definitely has sensory issues) and he’s constantly just repeating, repeating, repeating. He will NOT allow me to talk to my partner, he just won’t. If I ask him to he will grab my face and talk into my mouth practically.
I have 4 kids, and I know repeating is normal to some extent but this is INSANE. He will repeat non stop even after you’ve answered, even WHILST you are answering. You can answer him 10 times and he keeps asking. You acknowledge him and he’s still repeating. He is constantly bouncing off everything. He will not sit down even for a second to eat, he has to be running and talking. I take him to soft plays and it doesn’t wear him out. I take him to soft plays and long walks, but it still doesn’t wear him out. From the second he wakes up until he (eventually) falls asleep at night he’s just SCATTY. He won’t calm down, but lately he’s starting to be naughty with it so it’s really affecting me. He will INTENTIONALLY annoy people for the sake of annoying them and jump all over them and give his brother stuff he knows he isn’t allowed etc. he used to be very sweet but now he’s intentionally annoying.
He jumps all over people constantly, he refuses to respect peoples personal space. He’s become obsessed with my boobs since his brother was born (breastfed. And breastfeeds even now at 1 a LOT throughout the day because he’s constantly getting upset by 4year old freaking out about everything). So I have both of them constantly pulling at my boobs and I am so touched out I feel like my skin is falling off.
What do I do?! I don’t understand at all what I can possibly do or if this is normal.
