20 month old toddler won’t stop climbing everything

Hi all,
Im really starting to struggle with my 20 month old, he’s turned a corner and it’s driving me mad, he climbs absolutely everything in the house which is causing bruises and hurting himself constantly, I’ve tried everything gates which he now climbs over, I’ve moved all my furniture around I’ve thrown away furniture and moved stuff upstairs he still climbs on whatever he can which is dining table, tv stand and the baby gates, the sofas he’s running across and falling off, he just doesn’t stop and I don’t have the energy anymore to keep taking him off everything, I’m really losing my patience and it’s like he finds it funny when I’m angry… he just laughs at me when I’m telling him no!

Another thing is when I take him out to the park, softplay even swimming, or days out… as soon as he’s back in the house he’s a nightmare it’s like it overstimulates him and I’m not getting a break. Along with the non stop screaming it’s turning into hell for me. He was a Velcro baby but now he just seems to have changed his personality he’s so agitated and non stop all day. It’s really draining me right now any advice would be great, thank you

I can understand why you're struggling. That does sound very full on.

Does he go to any kind of childcare? If he does, have they said anything?

He doesn’t go to nursery yet, and his grandparents all live quite far away so it’s just me with him all day and really I’m on the verge of a breakdown I just dread everyday, I know it sounds bad and I feel like I don’t know why my toddler is like this I see others and they’re not like this when I take him out I notice the mums look at each other like here’s the naughty one , my mum seems to think it could be adhd as she advises my older brother was similar, my friends that have kids say wow he has too much energy, I don’t give him sugar or anything that can make it worse because I think that would be the end of me lol

Ok so if others have noticed he's a bit out of step with his peers, how does he do on this simple 18 month progress checker?
