3yr behavior problems

[Tammy212]

My 3yrs is always screaming and crying from the beginning.  He hits and bites nd scream out of control. when I try to talk to him to control him he acts up even worst.  I know he's a good boy but he just doesn't like it when u don't do it his way or if we just don't understand what he's saying.  He was unset because his sister was winning( or he think everything is a race) so he cut her off and pushed off her bike.  Today he was upset that the dog wasn't wanting to play and he threw him down.  The dog was bleeding and he knew to bring him to me.  I couldn't believthat he did this.  He breaks just about evething including our kitchen table. He doesn't lie about it and always wants to hug to say sorry. But I not sure he does this because he's hoping that he won't get punishment.  I took him to a bday party last wk.  He wanted to play with this lil boys cars.  He was biting them and when the boys asked him to stop he just hit him.  I starting to get real worried.  I would like to put him in preschool in Sept.  but I'm not sure if I can leave him.  I'm a stay at house mother, my husband does works alot but does spend time with him and the other two kids.  He was a premie, He did spend time in NICU for 10 days.  They thought he had a lung infection and than wouldn't eat.  He can't drink milk right from the beginning.  He would scream and it took almost 5 months before they put him on prescription formula. I know that it made me a nerous wreak.  My two other kids are great!  My oldest does have a sm case of ADHD.  But never hit or bite anyone.  He whines for his sister but when she comes home he attack her. She has trouble doing her homework because he is attacking her.  He doesn't talk real good just started about his bday.  I have poeple who tell me he's just a boy and others who say something is wrong with him. I'm not sure what to do?

you are welcome , glad you are getting some help, do keep a check that no one else is teasing /upsetting him it does happen and very often parents are not aware ..eyes wide open

Thanks I did talk to our doctor and he did say to get him therapy.  We just not sure if he's frustrated because he doesn't speak that well.  I have change his time outs to having to stay in his room to clam down. And it seems to be helping he not acting up as bad.  He seems to be more loving, but I'm still taking him to therapy just to make sure and I'm having his speech check as well.  apprecaite all the support!

I feel that some counselling and urgent help is called for here ,there are reasons this child is behaving like this , how do the other cjhildren treat him? do they tease are they kind? he seems to be frustrated .I suggest that you get some help for him ..good luck
