Patience. Sounds like a typical 3 year old to me. Make sure he gets outside to run & play and burn off some energy on a regular basis. He'll settle down in oh...........10 years or so.

I've got a 3 yr old girl and she's not much better and my son is almost 2 and he's getting worse as well. Sounds like your son is being normal and not doing anything wrong so much. If he has a lot of energy take him out doors when you can. To the park, let him run around in the back yard. That can do a great deal of good. You can't punish your child for having energy. Yes it is normal for it to drive you crazy my brothers drove me up the wall. AS long as he is only being hyper and not actually doing anything wrong don't punish him. Try to make him understand the difference between inside play and outside play however and make sure you get him out doors as often as you can. Do your best to be understanding and try to figure out the difference between behavior that needs to be corrected and behavior that needs to be redirected. Take a deep breath and try not to get mad at your son for being a 3 yr old. Trust me I do this every day. Make sure you get breaks. Even just go for a drive and let your husband take care of him for a bit. Clear your head. My third child and my second son is on his way in Feb. I know it's only gonna get more complicated lol. Good luck!
Heck kids can be buttheads lol at least you didn't call him a million other things I've hear parents call their kids. My daughter can be a brat, I'm not calling her names to her face and she cannot read. Any parent should be able to understand where you are coming from.

Why? Beacuse he was sent to this earth to drive you crazy and wish you never have anymore kids. LOL Ok really, he is just trying to push the bounderies to see how far he can get. It will get worse, I promise. Just be consistant. The whole going to his room thing may not be such a great idea because his room should be his safe haven not a place for punishment. You want his room to be a calming place for him to maybe read a book with you or go to sleep. Find a stool or a chair and use that for his time outs. It will take time and a ton of patience but when he acts out put him in it and get on his level to speak in a calm controlled voice letting him know why he is in time out. You can use the timer on the microwave to set the time. Now when he gets up before him time he gets one chance and after that the timer gets re-set. Yes, this is more hard work for you but it puts you back in control. Don't use bodily control to keep him in his chair, just keep putting his butt in it. Coming from a mother with 2 boys, 5 and 19 months, I can tell you that they are wild and they really can be buttheads alot but they love their mommy and they ultimatly want to make you happy.

My son is almost 3 and has just started acting the same way...it almost makes you sad that they are growing up so fast and that they just wanna be like the big kids now! I send my son to his room , or on a time out in the corner. You just have to be consistent and make sure you keep telling him whats right and wrong. It doesn't seem to work right away, but with lots of patience, it really wears off.
Hope this works! Good luck!

Children often become moody! Their just like miniture adults! I wouldn't worry too much, because it's probably just a phase, unless he's always been an agressive child. Their personalities are a little out of whack, and their trying to figure out who they are too! Try to be patient with him, or try giving him more naps. Children who don't sleep enough often become angry, agressive, or just down right bad! But the most important thing to remember is that boys will be boys! He'll always be a little rough!

authentic, area is jealousy, area is you being a pushover. infants desire self-discipline and shape. communicate with your 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. clarify which you nonetheless love her even however you have a sparkling toddler. contain her in looking after the toddler. do no longer seperate activities between the two infants, this could reason jealousy or make an cutting-edge case worse. tell her how plenty mommy appreciates her help together with her new toddler sister/brother. set aside time whilst the toddler is drowsing, possibly an hour until now bedtime, in easy terms on your 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. mom of three, yet have 5 residing with me.

He is a normal healthy 3 year old boy. Boys and there energy...WOW. When my son was three, he was also a powerhouse of mischief...running around, messing and breaking things up. He drove me crazy during that time. But he outgrew it and soon your son will too. Just let him know his boundaries and make it clear that you are the boss and the buck stops at you. It's never to early to discipline. yelling will just frustrate you. Time out is effective when you are consistent about it.

It's just the age, and im glad im not the only one with this problem! I have one little girl that just turned 4 and she can be a little butthead herself, but I love her!
I wish I had advice for you on how to stop it, but I haven't figured it out yet either :o)

He's 3. Trust me, it dosen't get any better from here either!
All kidding aside, have you tried using time-out? It can work miracles! You have to be consistent though, that is THE most important thing!
Good luck, and just enjoy having a boy who is all boy! I have one of those too!!
