So bit of background my DS turned three in July. He always been stubborn and constantly asks for snacks even if he’s just eaten. Since he’s turned three his behaviour is almost unmanageable. He has full blown screaming fits if he doesn’t get what he wants. Recently he’s taken to slapping, scratching or biting us if we stay firm with boundaries. I try give him choices. Like he woke up through the night and wanted to go play in his brothers room. I told him he couldnt but he could either stay in his room or come in to mummy and daddy’s. He chose his room but EVERY time I placed him in his room he screamed and lashed out even though he kept making that choose. Brought him in our room and he screamed even more. He will do this at all times if the day. I’ll give him a choice, he’ll choose and then kick off. I’m honestly struggling so much we never shout and try talk him down but he just reacts by hitting us.
I just feel like I’ve failed him because everyday there’s a massive tantrum which leads to him so upset. And us too
