I have been having issues with an almost 3yo boy. Mom lets him sleep in and his behavior is thus atrocious, and at nap time he is HORRIBLE. I had ALL the kids in other rooms but him and he just screams NO at me, complains, whines, kicks and hits me when I try to comfort him, bites me... This kid is just being ornery and I am DONE.
I want to give him a fighting chance since I can see how the issues mostly stem from lack of active parenting, etc.
I told mom over a week ago WAKE HIM UP EARLY. She claims he got up at 845... I am guessing later than that. Usually they are thrown in the car and arrive here at 10. I have asked her to arrive earlier and that is iffy. I am going to reiterate that.
But how do I get the violent behavior - the hitting and biting me - to stop? Today, he just picked up a plastic baseball bat and went to bash my own 3yo DD over the head with it. She wasn't even playing NEAR him. He has no problems with her... it seemed like she was just there. He does hit/bite/kick in retaliation as well. I do not want to kick him out so quickly but I am at my wits end. Willing to try anything.
