Threenagers??

So my almost 3 year old has turned into a tantruming monster in the last month or so. He used to be delightful, so sweet and biddable and helpful and all of a sudden he just loses it over absolutely nothing, it's exhausting and whilst my husband and I are trying to be consistent on managing the behaviour it's not always easy to not get cross. We had a second baby in September which may have impacted it but he's actually lovely to the baby and if anything gets more of our time now as we are both off work so he isn't more neglected. Is this normal? Does it last forever!? I feel like I've lost my lovely sweet little boy. Any help or just solidarity is what I'm looking for!!

Hey there I hope it’s gotten better since you wrote the post. What works for my boys is a very consistent routine / schedule. For example when they wake up they change, brush their teeth and play until breakfast. Then either we start some homeschool or play outside. And continue a similar daily routine until bedtime. Try and make bedtime / wake time the same daily. Also changing activities often. It does get better it’s just exhausted especially with two littles. Sending lots of love your way
