Jess, I also have an uncontrollable 3.5 yearold son, although he does seem to be improving his behaviour lately. With a new baby around your son's probably jelous which isn't helping either.
I was told to increase Omega 3 levels, I now give my son a little squirt found at pharmacies every morning and night and have limited his sugar intake, although this has proven to be quite hard, everything contains sugar
I've also found that resorting to a smack seems to be the only way to get a response, I've been told it's quite normal and it's also to do with him being a boy, they're more outgoing and physical. For us it's been a shell shock as our daughter was so placid, compared to our son, although she seems to have school attitude at the moment!
I know it's daunting and I've spent plenty of nights in tears with his behaviour, his bedroom has huge dings in the walls, where toys have been constantly rammed into the wall or thrown in a fit of fury! I guess looking at it now, it can all be repaired and I've spent huge amount of effort trying to explain that he can't throw things inside!
Funnily for us my son has always been a mummy's boy wanting cuddles at night and he has a sheety he takes everywhere. I've found with the improved behaviour that the snuggles seem to be less and less. I wonder if maybe he's been reaching out to find his place in our family and is now feeling comfortable within his own limits!
