Jace's behavior can be perfect. This is especially true when Ashlynn isn't around. Just her presence, for whatever reason, sets him off. This morning, he had already kicked her, but in his defense she was kicking him too.
I fed him gluten free waffles which he actually ate. His behavior does seem better when he doesn't have gluten and when he eats more meat....both of which are hard with his picky eating.
After breakfast though, he flew around the house in a manic frenzy. He was hitting the book Ashlynn was reading, then he threw markers at it. I told him if he touched the book one more time he would go to time out. He did of course, because listening isn't his thing, and that ended him with continually slamming the door. I told him to stop or he would be in the car seat. He's in the car seat of course, because again, listening isn't his thing. While putting him in though I was scratched, slapped in the face, and he tried to bite me. Awesome morning.
I came out here to write this and I'm crying. I'm failing him. I don't know what to do. He is literally raging in there right now. He is a maniac when he's like this. What do I do? How do I help him?
I have a sticker chart again rewarding positive behavior. It's of course working great for Ashlynn. He wants stickers too, but if he doesn't earn one he starts raging again.
My God, he's only going to be 4. What happens when he's bigger and stronger than me?? Why does he hit me??
I'm sad and I don't know what to do. :(
