He doesn’t hate you \- don’t ever think that - my boy is very ‘good’ but we went through a lot of melt downs a few months ago. And I found myself raising my voice at him which I didn’t like. The best thing that helped me navigate this was a book (I listened to the audiobook bc don’t have much time to read ) called ‘No such thing as naughty’- at first I didn’t like the writer bc she was very ‘posh’ - and so found her hard to relate to - but by the end I was so grateful to her - the advice and guidance she gives you is so helpful!!
3 year olds are feral. We’re going through it at the moment.
My 3 year old little boy is the same! Apart from he’s well behaved with family too it’s just me and his dad he really plays up for. His dad was also thinking he might have ADHD however he’s only like it with us and in most if not all other environments he’s a well behaved, polite little boy so I think it literally is down their age x
@danielle we have the book... I think it is time for me to revisit. The author was a journalist and that was my draw. I get the posh bit... but her book did make sense..
@Swapna exactly - I found myself really liking her by the end , and really appreciating what she was explaining
@danielle It's out of the shelf now. I have a feeling I will be pushed to the edge soon.
@Emma - Ours is the same, with a handful of occasions. If you haven’t already, look up secure attachments with toddlers. They learn where they feel safe and then learn to behave anywhere else. Then they let out their pent up emotions at home in their safe place with their safe person. It is especially true for neurodiverse kids.
My little boy has just turned 3 too & he is exactly the same. I feel like there is a drama over everything, even trying to give him dinner or a bath there has to be shouting ect! I just thought this is toddlers because I have never seen a toddler that is an angel 24/7 x
