I’m on maternity leave with baby number 2 who is 3 months. Before this my son who is 2.5 was with my MIL everyday and I worked long hours so I was essentially a weekend mum. We had struggled with behaviour issues on the weekends, things like extreme tantrums etc and not listening and chalked this up to inconsistencies in how he was parented by grandma v how he was parented by us and had hoped behaviour would settle out once he was with me full time. It’s now three months in and there are big tantrums every day, biting, kicking, smacking and shouting. I have tried to be consistent, to not shout, to try talking about feelings to help him deal with the emotions and we use naughty step/ time out for the hitting. However this is now starting to effect life outside the house, I had started taking him to some toddler groups which he hasn’t done before as MIL didn’t take him anywhere but his behaviour is so bad at the groups that we largely spend the session sat out and today he kicked me in the face whilst trying to put shoes on and then lay on the floor screaming on public transport. I am at the end of my tether quite frankly. I don’t want to tied to the house and unable to leave for fear of his behaviour in public but I don’t see any other option at this point. Does anyone have any recommendations or words of hope that this will not last? Has anyone else had a similar issue??
