My Little Ball of Anger
Parker has become this little ball of anger seemingly overnight. Jeff and I both don't get it!! He screams "no" at us, hits at us, knowing that if he doesn't stop he'll be put in his room to calm down, and then opens and slams his door, throws stuff inside his room, etc.!! I am at a complete loss for what to do, how to get him to express his anger or frustration or WHATEVER it is in a healthy, non-destructive way!! I mean, he's even barrelled into me in anger, hitting not just me, but little Sprout as well!! It is CRAZY, I tell you!! Right now, he's in his room crying about it ... which he always does as SOON as he is put in his room (he's able to choose when he leaves on his own, and often comes out all smiles, and hugs and "sorry"s ...).
