I have 2 sons, my 3 year old is always smashing up his toys and telling me that he no longer wants them. Even his beloved Thomas track gets it. He is very spitfeull to his 5 yr old brother. Knows how to wind him up. When we try to discipline he just thinks it's funny. Have tried putting him on the stairs, removing toys, star charts, rewards, treats, ignoring bad behaviour. So far none of it seems to work. At present he has an empty bedroom as he totally trashed it. I caught him bouncing really hard on his bed and told him that he would have to sleep on the floor if it broke. 2 minutes later he was laughing whilst telling his brother he would have to sleep on the floor. I know that 3 yr olds can be worse than 2 yr olds. But I never had it this bad with my older son. I'm just lost for ideas. Please can someone help?? I feel like I'm failing as a mum. I try my hardest to keep my voice calm and not loose my temper but sometimes a scream from the top of a hill sounds perfect!!!
