I'm out of ideas. Granted my three and a half year old has been sick, but he is grumpy as hell. He growls, gives nasty faces, he has started to raise his fist/hit, and has tried to bite a couple times.
He gets mad at the drop of a hat . . . if anyone says or does anything wrong, he growls like a weed eater and holds his fist up. Two examples, from this morning: he wanted to call his Papa, so I let him, and when Papa asked if he had eaten breakfast, he responded with a growl and a whine "No!", then his Papa said it would make him strong, so he growled and hung up on him; I asked him if he wanted a bowl of cereal for breakfast and he said yes, so I brought it out to him and he started growling and said he didn't want it, took one bite, and growled that he was done.
Otherwise, he is the sweetest little thing.
Maybe this is normal, but it seems like he is regressing instead of learning to communicate and deal with his angry feelings.
Any suggestions?
