I have a nearly three year old who has been potty trained for a few months, and has hardly had any accidents since day 1. I've just had a baby and my Ds is now displaying really attention seeking behaviour. He's a bit of a mummy's boy and I've been really worried about how he'd react to the new baby. Most of the time he's great but at bedtimes it's becoming a real battle. He calls for me, and jf I don't go up instantly - often I'm feeding the baby- he wees on the floor. He has a potty in his room, so it's clear that it's deliberate. Tonight he took it one stage further and emptied loads of clothes out of his wardrobe and then weed on them. I really don't know how to handle it. We've tried getting cross, we've tried reassuring him how much we love him. He gets loads of attention all day, and lots of cuddles, so I don't know what more I can do. I know he's feeling insecure at the moment, and I know this naughty behaviour is all about getting attention. Normally I try and ignore attention seeking behaviour, but I really can't ignore this. We've spent ages making his room really nice for him, and it's so frustrating that he's trashing it. We're going to have to hire a carpet cleaner as it is, but first I need to put a stop to this behaviour but I don't know where to start. Sorry this is so long, but i'd be so grateful for any advice.
