He won't listen!

[aragon]

Sorry if I am raising an ugly topic familiar to everyone. My 3.5 yr old has always been the archetypal angel. You know the kind of thing, cute, cuddly, affectionate, loving, funny, lively etc etc.
In the last three weeks he's become a different child. Won't do a thing I ask him and is pushing the limits +++
Worse still I am finding that I am ending up screaming at him in frustration (not what they taught me at health visiting school I know and not something I advise other parents ).

What works in helping him through this phase (please nobody tell me this is for keeps - it can't be).

Have just bought some stickers and am going to enforce "time out".

My only comfort is that the nursery he attends 2 days a week say he's doing the same there too - so it's not just me then?

Has something changed in his routine, had any upsets at school or at home??

My dd is exactly the same and she is 4 in august. She is the devil child at the moment and I thinks its because she's given up her dummy and also I'm being made homeless in 3 weeks and things are very unsettled here.

loads of sympathy for you.

it really is just a phase, wil last until 4
good luck and just keep repeating yourself.
Mine was the same
