Hi mums
I’m in real need of some advice. I’m a single mum, My youngest son is 2 in March and he’s a handful to say the least.
He’s aggressive, throws himself on the floor constant screaming, hitting, bangs his head, pulls his hair out. These come in “episodes” around 20+ a day, like if you look at him and he doesn’t want you to, tell him no, put his shoes on etc. he has one of these “episodes” it has escalated it was happening mainly around just me at home it’s now when we’re out shopping, walks, parks around friends family.
I feel like I completely failing as a mother. When I know he’s getting mad or frustrated I try quickly to distract him but it hardly works, when I pick him up he just hits me, pulls my hair and wails about in my arms. Last resort is just to make sure he’s lay on the floor with nothing around him that he can hurt himself.
I have a 6yr old and it’s tough on him not having hardly attention because I feel like I’m
Constantly focused on my youngest. And my youngest is so jealous if my 6yr old wants a cuddle he’s hit him away or tries to push him away from me. Obviously I tell him firmly no and that I’m mummy to his brother as well.
I am open to any suggestions to try and help!! I am completely drained emotionally and physically.
