3 year old hitting/kicking/pushing since summer holidays!

[foreverchangingnappies]

Anyone else had their lovely calm 3.5 year old turn feral in the summer holidays?!

We've done lots of fun things throughout the holidays, but the last few weeks he has been misbehaving so much! Hitting/kicking/pushing his little sibling. Not listening to a word I say. Throwing toys all over. He's never been like this before!

I'm wondering could it just be from lack of routine/boredom in the summer holidays? I'm hoping so as I'm struggling to know what to do. All I seem to do is tell him off at the moment. Back to pre school tomorrow so I'm really hoping this behaviour improves!

In exactly the same boat here, My LB moved up to the Pre-school class at nursery 2 weeks ago and his behaviour at home since has got worse and worse everyday. Hitting and throwing things at me when he gets annoyed or frustrated and shouting in my face. He makes really loud frustrated noises. I feel awful. He even laughs when he knows it has hurt me.
