Excitable

So its probably not a good thing when the preschool teacher approaches you and says, " Max has been very easily excitable the last couple of weeks." Thats the nice way of saying, "your child is a monster." Max has been very easily excitable the last couple of weeks and I'm not sure what has been going on with him but he is short tempered, mouthy and full of drama. He has been braking down into tears when I tell him he can't have candy, its nap time or any other little thing. Not really sure what to do. We have been trying to be consistant with punishments and not letting him get away with poor behavior but I haven't seen any changes. He seems to be at that age where he is stuck between wanting to be a big boy but still being a baby. I hope he out grows this soon.

This I think is the hardest part about having kids.

He is probably going through a growth spurt. They do a lot of growing and changing, and are very hormonal at this age (it is not just for teenagers). At least that is the excuse we give for Amya when she goes through this. We call it the devil phase and it happens just about every month!!! ...............c.
