[quote=Anonymous]3.5 is HARD. My kids needed so much attention and activity at that age. Are you trying to work from home? If so, you have my immense sympathy, but I would also say that is just not workable at this age and he needs at least a part-time preschool. He needs to get out of the house and run off some energy. 3.5 was also when both of my kids went through a phase of testing boundaries, laughing at punishments. I remember thinking the terrible 2s were horribly misnamed, it should be the terrible 3s. Just be consistent, pick your battles (but be consistent about which ones you pick!), wear him out, and give him as many snuggles as he can handle. Hang in there, it does get better.[/quote]
