Thanks for your responses girls. Yes things have been crazy for a while and maybe your right Lulu, i have spoken to his teacher and she thinks he is just bored and really ready for school. I try to praise him for the good stuff as often as i can too. fourthontheway - the changes you mentioned are big for a little person so i am trying to talk to him about those things too. I will try the fish oil, thanks, i did have him on it a couple of years back but just finished up a bottle and never replaced it i guess. I called parent line this morning too and found a lovely lady to talk all this through with too. It's great to get another perspective on things which is why i love Bellybelly too.
Thanks again, i just have to focus on how we deal with these "episodes" while they are occurring as calmly and the best we can.
Oh my goodness, are you talking about my 5 year old DS??? he slapped my DD on the leg so hard that he made a huge red mark and banged the swing into the babys face, accidently on purpose???? and that was just this morning!!! He runs around making loud annoying, over the top noises and has stopped listening to anything we say. i have been wondering if there is SOMETHING WRONG with him, but have come to the same conclusion, HE IS WELL AND TRULY READY FOR SCHOOL. I want my lovely little boy back!!! at the moment I am so glad to take him off to kindy, just to stop the destruction of household items and other kids!! Next year we will be getting him into some sports to keep him active and amused, maybe even karate for the discipline involved??
I think it is pretty normal, but hard to handle all the same.
