Finding it hard to deal with a 2yr old's behaviour at the moment. He is the middle child now as little brother arrived 2 weeks ago.
He comes to me for 6hrs on a Wed and Thurs and he will cry constantly and hit if I come near him. He just wants his mum and this morning I had to hold him just so she could get out the door!
I could see that she was very upset herself.
Its just a battle of wills. He wants to be with Mummy and she is feeling guilty about pushing him out. Their older brother aged 4yrs is in reception and finding that difficult as well.
How do you deal with all this? Or is it just a matter of time until the 'family dynamics' calm down? He's still going strong (crying) and its been 20 mins now.
He was perfectly OK until baby arrived so its all understandable, but its heartbreaking :(
