Thank-you everyone for your advice. I looked up preservatives on the net yesterday b4 shopping and I printed a wallet size list of bad preservatives. It really shocked me to see how many were in our everyday foods right down to our bread and butter. So I changed everything so there wasn't any badpreservatives. I also managed to find a preservative free cordial... I'm just putting like a little dash in his drink bottles so his water has a bit of taste. Thank-you for the advice on that.
Jillian - I'm glad to see I'm not alone on waiting for the knock on the door. I video taped my son throwing a tantrum so I had proof. JIC. lol, you have some good ideas that i'm going to try. He already has a sticker "progam" for going to bed... If he goes to bed without screaming at me he gets a sticker. I've tried pffereing him fruit and veges wehen I'm eating it, he thinks apples and grapes are balls and throws them around so I don't try grapes anymore, and he just throws apples straight in the bin if I cut them up for him. he'll eat dried apricots but that about it. I'll try a fruit smoothie he like milkshakes. His speech is really good for his age, he can talk pretty good and he understands us when we're talking.
Christy - thank-you for sending the link for your de-brief, there's some good advice in it, and I really hope everything is going well now.
Getting him checked for ADD/ADHD WAS going to be a last resort because I didn't want to have him on tablets or anything, Now I've posted in here I hav heaps of things to try. Hopefully all your suggestions work.
Kmh - I don't think he's bored, He's got heaps of toys, So many I have packed away a couple of boxes of them(I change his toys every couple of months. Bring out the ones packed away and packed up some more, so he doesn't get bored with them.) he also has quite a few dvd's of his choice ie. bob the builder and postman pat. He also rides his bike outside most days too. He also goes to daycare 2 days a week.
Now that I've been thinking about it he has gotten worse since Paige was born. He's been quite naughty since around his 2nd birthday but a bit worse over the last few weeks. We try and spend as much one on one time with him as we can, everynow and then I'll take him shopping with me but he just gets uncontrollable when daddies not around so it's really hard for me to take him out with out DP. I need DP to take us whereever we go anyways as I don't have my License.
He did something new yesterday... I went outside and when I went to go back inside he locked me out. He just laughed at me through the door and then jumped on the computer(which he knows he can't touch). Lucky DP was home cause there was no way Tyler was going to unlock the door for me.
So far this morning We've only had on tanty and that's over he doesn't want to eat weet-bix and wants everything else. which is my fault I admit. I have been buiying him "yummy" cereal the last couple of shops instead of weet-bix, so now he is telling me it is yucky and he threw it in the bin. This might sound like a bit of a stupid question But I'll ask... Tyler wakes up anywhere between 4.30am and 5.30am has brekky about 20 mins after he wakes up. what time do yo uthink I should give him morningtea? We usually have lunch around 11 and he usually has a sleep from around 11.30/12 till about 2.30/3(hasn't had a daytime nap for about 4 days.) I've been giving him something ariound 8ish he's always asking for food... should I give him foor when he asks or try and stick to a routine of brekky morningtea lunch afternoontea and dinner... with nothing else inbetween.?
