DS is a very bright 3.5 yr old who ticks off a lot of the boxes aimed at 5 year olds at nursery. He enjoys reading counting etc so we are encouraging him with this and give him lots of praise for that and if he behaves nicely, eg being kind to his sister.
The trouble is he is extremely challenging and will have screaming tantrums for no apparent reason. For the past couple of days he has refused to walkto school so I end up having to drag/ carry him there much to the disgust of the other parents.
He can be violent and aggressive, usually towards me if he does not get his own way. Thankfully he does behave well at nursery.
He still wears nappies and will refuse to go anywhere near the toilet despite various bribes, reward charts, choosing new big boys pants. I am worried that he will not be dry for some time yet.
Sadly, all this means that poor dd misses out on a lot of attention. It is a juggling act that I am struggling with at the moment :-(
