Hi everyone just wanted to get any tips with this as i feel like im at the end of my tether. Im walking on eggshells around my own child ( 5 year old DS) and quite honestly sick of his behaviour!
Im 27 weeks and totally expected a shift in behaviour with me being pregnant but this is off the scale. He is neurotypical, no issues with school etc and he is usually prone to a few tantrums but nothing out of the ordinary for his age and generally fine behaviour wise. Over the last few weeks he argues literally everything i say. This could be to do with meals ,getting ready for school anything i ask him results in a full on screaming tantrum. Being nonchalent doesnt work etc "well as long as your ok with the consequence of being hungry and realising there is no other food after" and using this approach just results in the same screaming fit. After a particularly testing day ive just snapped and screamed back at him which ironically did make him stop in his tracks and be remorseful but obviously i wouldnt recommend doing this!⁷
