My son who is 34 months has just shown displaced anger and i’m quite concerned.
I have been stressing with uni and so, when my son tried to approach me, I shouted at him, however, he stayed quiet. When his dad came to comfort him he started crying, and would not let his dad comfort him. I then settled down, and went up to my 2 year old to apologise who then said his daddy made him sad and upset. This has me quite worried as clearly I was in the wrong however he was taking his hurt out on his dad and was convinced that his dad crossed a boundary and not me.
I’m wondering what may have caused this displaced anger and what I can do to help him overcome this?
