Guys, I haven’t posted on here and forever but I need some advice or some reassurance I’m not the only one going through this. My son is continuously testing my husband and I. He recently started hitting us in our faces, really hard. I asked his teachers at school if he does it to them or any kids and they said no. So attention seeking behavior from just his parents, but nothing we do seems to get him to stop.

Bed time...we never ever had a problem with bedtime. The past week has been a nightmare. He’s always just gone right to bed, and never strayed from our routine. Now he has started to scream and scream, and won’t go down.

I will add that he’s cutting 2 teeth, a bottom incisor and a top first year molar. Before bedtime he’s been getting Tylenol and baby nighttime oragel for that.

I’m really sad and upset. We’re both working parents, and we love to play and spend time with our son when we’re home. I feel like whatever phase he’s going through right now has robbed us of that time. It’s making us really sad. I just want to know I’m not alone here.
