Behaviour how do your little ones behave? How do I know if it’s frustration or something more

We are their safety blanket where they feel most comfortable. They know they can push all the buttons they want because they feel relaxed to do so. In a setting where they’re cared for amongst others they’re comfortable and understand how they ‘should’ be. It’s normal and natural and although it’s bloody hard work, I would take it as a positive.
My little boy did the same thing and it was awful. He would hit bite and pull my hair. He would his dad or snatch his glasses of his face: it was awful! Everytime he did it I would put him down/move away from him. Told him what he did wrong and made sure he said sorry. He knew he wasn’t getting the reaction he wanted so he eventually stopped. He’ll have the odd outburst with his cousin (similar age) but soon as we say no! He stops and leans in for a hug. Just like Adele has said we are their safety blanket so they get away with everything. Just be firm with him and show him you’re not happy with what he’s doing. Hopefully it’s just a phase and he’ll definitely grow out of it x
Felt like I was reading my story. Nursery say he's perfect, MIL says the best out of all the children, my mum says a blessing. We despair at home. I take comfort in that they are there most comfortable with parents.
