Challenging behaviour

Girl, I completely understand what you’re going through because I’m actually going through a very similar struggle with my son right now. It’s been so challenging and honestly exhausting. There are times I don’t even want to take him anywhere because he won’t relax, he gets extremely overstimulated, screams, has major meltdowns, hits me, and just completely falls out.
I’ve tried talking to him, setting boundaries, teaching him that hitting isn’t okay, comforting him, redirecting him—you name it. And sometimes it feels like nothing is working, which can leave you feeling so helpless and overwhelmed. I’m also trying to figure out whether there’s something deeper going on that I’m not understanding, because I know my son isn’t just being “bad.” I think sometimes they genuinely don’t know how to regulate what they’re feeling. I just wanted you to know that you’re definitely not alone. I’m a mom going through this too, and I completely understand how exhausting and isolating it is.

Ohh..thank you for sharing this with m, and I'm sorry you have yo go through all these as well. I absolutely feel the same way as you and I know that they are not "bad" kids, i really hope it's just a phase but I'm getting worried that my son might get tagged and maybe even "expelled" from the nursery. I genuinely don't know what to do.

prosecute me if yall want to i really don’t care but that behavior to me is unacceptable unless your child is on the spectrum or has some type of actual behavioral disorder/illness this is just ridiculous. your son is about to be 4 years old his comprehension should be phenomenal he knows what he is doing & he needs to get hit back point blank period. this will only get worse as he gets older and STRONGER, please nip this in the bud show him before some other child pops him right back even harder.

Please don’t listen to the people telling you that you need to hit your son back. ❤️ I completely understand how scary and overwhelming this feels, especially when you’re worried about him getting kicked out of nursery, but hitting him isn’t going to teach him how to regulate himself. I’ve learned that a child can understand that hitting is wrong and still struggle with controlling that impulse when they’re overwhelmed. That doesn’t mean we excuse the behavior—we absolutely set boundaries and keep everyone safe—but I think it’s important to also figure out what’s triggering it and whether he needs additional support.
You’re not a bad mom, and your son isn’t a bad kid. ❤️ I would definitely talk to his pediatrician and ask about an evaluation and resources for behavioral/developmental or occupational therapy. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
