3 year olds behaviour

Hi,

I'm hoping for some advice, I'm at my wits end with my just turned 3 year old. His behaviour had been getting worse over the last couple
Of months, but we had a baby 3 weeks ago & since then he's been a whole other level of naughty. I feel like I've tried everything in terms of discipline, trying to reason with him, gentle approach etc. nothing works. It is really getting me down & im finding enjoying our newborn hard, because I'm on edge about what he's going to do next. He can be so loving & then a switch just flips & he's hyper or lashing out at me.
He goes to nursery 2 days a week & they say his behaviour is excellent and he's very chilled out there. His grandparents say the same, that he is well behaved, has the occasional moment, but mostly good.
How do I tackle this? I'm desperate for ways I can improve this, as I feel it's really taking its toll on me. I am on Mat leave for the next 9 months & really want to enjoy our time together with both children.

Remember that his world has been turned upside down by the arrival of the baby. Be consistent and have boundaries of course, but mainly at the moment it's a question of being very loving and understanding towards him. He may think you don't love him any more now the new baby is here.

What kind of behaviour?

Reassure him. Lots of love and attention. He is communicating to you he needs that.
