Suddenly very aggressive

Please no harsh comments. My son has always been rough but over the past two weeks he is either very mean or is crying/ clingy. I'm his main teacher at daycare but even the other teachers have made comments about his behavior being odd compared to how he normally is. I'm at a complete lost on how to handle it. I lost my temper and ended up throwing him to the ground because he slapped a peer because the peer was infront of him in line and bit his teacher cause she was not letting him take his jacket off outside because it was cold

Well if you’re treating him that way and if you have before how do you expect him to keep his cool when you cant?

@Samantha this is the first time I have ever lost my temper and it was after he bit a teacher twice, slap and punched someone in the face. Normally I place him in timeout, take away privileges and have a talk with him

I think it’s just a this age, it will pass

It’s ok samantha, he is your baby. Whatever you have done is not harsh to him. Let time pass by and talk to him why you did that. Its not like he cant get slap again, but he has to learn and change his behavior

Hi! So many things here and i think we have all been “guilty” of loosing our minds with our kids. I have and the shame and guilt is so intense. So strong of you to reach out about it. A couple things that have helped me: One getting my own support and noticing when I’m running low on self care, rest, attention, time, food etc. I got a therapist and it helped so much. Second thing is I listen to Dr Becky you can YouTube her she’s sooo helpful. One thing she recommends is making sure each kid has even 5- ten minutes of just you no phone no siblings ideally daily but at least a couple times a week I saw HUGE change in kiddo after this. Plus implementing her other techniques she’s easy and to the point. Your kid is a good kid having a hard time and his acting out is a cry for help that he needs more skills managing his emotions and maybe some more reassurance. You see a good mom. Sending love 💕

@Nicole thank you for the kind words. I looked her up on Facebook. This behavior is so atypical for him and came out of no where so I'm so confused 😕
