Hi mum's,
Needing your help. My Mr 3 has turned into a screaming tantrum throwing devil child in the past few weeks. I understand he has had a lot of changes like going up a room at preschool and a level at swimming, turning 3 and been sick f or the past week but it's becoming a joke. My partner thinks yelling and punishments are going to fix it. If it's just me at home, I walk away and let him finish. But when my partner is home he demands instant silence and to keep him quite. My son plays up more when daddy is home.
He is becoming more naughty and nit listening. He also isn't eating as well as he used too.
Please throw your suggestions at me. I'm almost at breaking point.

I also had this with my 2.5 year old. I would do the same as you walk away and let him go and husband wanted it to stop!. Screaming, yelling and punishment didn't work for my son. I now take a deep breath myself get down to his level calmly tell him to calm down then once he has talk to him the best way I can ( to a toddler) and explain what is wrong, what he wants ect and it seems the more calm I am the faster he calms down also. I got given this advice because I also was at breaking point and never thought it would work but funny enough it worked. You got this mumma!
Sounds like you're a wonderful mummy. Firstly, make sure you and your husband talk and employ the same techniques...your relationship and self worth is JUST as important as your sons wellbeing! Nobodies life or happiness is more important than another's... Please keep United! Stay consistent, don't cave & teach your son right from wrong. Good luck.
