My 17 month old is quite the character very chatty and a sweetheart the majority of the time. But I’ve found recently he’s hitting a lot more, biting and throwing toys at me and doesn’t listen when I say no, take the toy away or move away. He’ll either continue to throw or hit etc or he will cry because I told him off. I feel like he is either to young to be ‘disciplined’ in a sense or he’s just turning in to a brat!
Also, at bedtime it’s becoming a battle, I am currently trying to drop a nap so it could be the transition that is unsettling him. But he just has so much energy and wants to talk to me and mess around instead.
What techniques do you guys use? Or is just another phase that I have to ride out?
