Hi girls, I’m in DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP.
My boy is 3 in July and god I’ve never known him to be so naughty.
I get terrible 2’s but i thought he already went through all of that.
Not listening.
Hitting/ kicking me.
Throwing things at me.
Charging at me.
He’s now decided to wake up multiple times in the middle of the night absolutely screaming like somethings happened.
I’ve tried so many things but nothing seems to be working, he’s just getting worse each day but with other people,
‘he’s been good as gold’
Is it just me that’s the problem??

Has there been a sudden change lately? is he getting good sleep? If he’s waking up multiple times a night could it be bad dreams? I’d look into sleep first and also his environment. But some of these things are also normal things. He does it specifically with you for possibly 3 reasons. Time of day he’s with you. He feels safe with you. And if You’re inconsistent with boundaries he may do this as well
Wishing you the best and I’m sure you’re doing great!

Sounds funny but my son does things he knows would get me to react… just to get me to react. Idk why - I try so hard not to react and then he stops. However I will add that he’s not the same age so it might not be that!
Hang in there I know it’s tough - it’s not your fault at all!! It’s one of those developmental things us parents have to figure out.
