Somebody help me please

Jack has turned into a nightmare child since he got sick last weekend. He spent all last week sleeping so that was ok but since Friday everything has turned into a tantrum, he doesn't even say what he wants just goes nuts, I try to ask him but he just throws stuff at me. He gets put into time out but all that involves is him throwing stuff around until after about an hour of screaming he calms down. Then half an hour max later it starts all over again.

There has been lost of one on one and hes been great then but when I have to do something (like feed Caprece) he just loses it.

I have been so close to smacking him I feel like I'm about to lose it. Does anyone have any good advice.

my god daughter was like that at exactly the same age with another baby...............found out that all she wanted to do was help...........she feed the baby with me etc and read books........could be a number of things too..........i agree with the ears aswell.

I would try getting him involved as your little helper (he sounds like he is missing all the attention) getting him folding stuff, cleaning stuff, putting away things, help changing baby, they are good handing things to you , espeically doing the dishes :0) if that doesnt work, take him to the doctor to get a complete check up from head to toe...........has anyone else taken care of him since then? has he been like that with them?

Good luck and let us know how it all goes

BREATHE!! and walk away. I have so been there many times! It's scary how angry I have been over the (in hindsight) most stupid things. Stay strong, and it will get better soon!!

Thanks everyone I have to take him back to make sure his tonsilitis has cleared up so might get a proper check.

He spent pretty much the whole of yesterday in time out Then we had to go post something and he was pretty good until home time when he had to be dragged out of the mall screaming.

Today has been heaps better, we had playcentre all morning so I hardly saw him and now hes alseep

Another playcentre day although we had another tantrum when it was time to go. Hes asleep at the moment so I'm hoping the rest of the day goes ok. How are you guys going?
