Yes, I feel like I’m failing even though I know it’s part of the process

I feel the exact same way, I am finding it so hard. Xxx

We are going through the exact same - smacking, scratching, headbutting, screaming tantrums, you name it he does it if we tell him ‘no’ or he doesn’t get his own way. It’s so incredibly hard, we’ve tried EVERYTHING- ignoring it, walking away, holding him until he calms down, but nothing works. It’s like he sees red and all he can do is lash out. Really hoping he will grow out of it soon because I’m at my wits end with it all, I feel you! X
