Is there some kind of horrific growth spurt or development leap at 4 (just turned)? My DS has been such hard work the last few weeks....he’s started wanting a lunchtime nap again, snatches and screams at his little sister, won’t share but expects her to, occasionally hits, (he’s never done that before) nags for food frequently, has zero patience so just asks the same question again and again and again if I don’t respond right away. He’s also very slow to just get on with anything, so if I ask him to put his shoes on to go out he’s still lolling on the floor messing about with a toy ten minutes later.
This is interspersed with absolutely lovely behaviour where he’s a total joy to be around. Just a rant really, he’s been totally awful today and I’m sick of him shrieking at his sister
