change in behavior - for the worst!...
fin has always been generally good - always had his moments but really quite good! this did change when must have hit the terrible twos... but recently got even worse!
its not just being naughty - on purpose hitting, being rude/cheeky, shouting, kicking off at dinner bad tho, screaming like he is soooo angry, when out would never move from side now testing boundaries and started messing around, when friends/fam are over tells them to go home, or when out says go home now - so embarrassing!
its hard to explain but he seems sooooo andry when kicks off...
childminder says perfect at hers but as of tomorrow mason will be going so thats where i think some of the problem is coming from may not be good!
it has seemed to of got worse since mason started crawling....he is annoyed with him as he ruins his games, toys etc... but if mason isnt around even for bit he really wants him back!!!

I do my best to stay calm with him and ask what is wrong and if he won't calm down I try and ignore it (especially if we are at home) and I find if I give him no attention for it he quickly stops.
As for bad behaviour (kicking/ hitting etc) then I ask him to stop it and say sorry (usually to Jacob!) and if he doesn't I put him in his room for 2 minutes, when I go and get him he has to say sorry and give me a hug or he stays in anotehr 2 minutes. It does seem to be helping with his behaviour.
Jacob is at nursery with Brendan now and they are fine, although there are two groups there and Jacob is with the younger ones and Brendan is with the older ones so they only see each other in the playground.

Lets just hope they grow out of the temper tantrums fairly quickly!!
Elijah can be an angel but when he kicks off, he really shouts, get sooo cross & even starts to hit himself makes me sad. Usually he will be too roguh and i'll ask him to be gentle and he will just get the hump and start shouting or ghurt me more. Then i have to give warning and put on the mat for 2 mins, which is starting to work.
I thinks its so hard for them to express how they are feeling, like Elijah has such good language people often forget he's only 2 and cant express his emotions clearly!
We are having trouble with the 2 boys, Elijah getting upset over things but i think thats another post. Good luck, youre not alone! xx
