[quote=Anonymous]This sounds like typical toddler behavior to me. You need to ask yourself what are you doing to reinforce this behavior? If you arrive at work and see he is already wound up try to take him to the park or something active to get that energy out. Later in the day when you see him getting worked up try to do a calming activity like reading a book, coloring or stickers. Make sure he is eating every couple of hours too. When he starts to hit, bite, or be aggressive towards you put him down and tell him in a stern voice that he is not allowed to hurt you and walk away. I usually put them in their room, but if he is in the middle of a tantrum just put him down where he's safe. Do not engage him at all or try to get him to calm down yourself. When he's screaming and being obnoxious tell him he needs to go to his room until he is ready to be nice. Give him ideas of some things he can do with you once he is calm. The key is to give him as little attention as possible, while keeping him safe of course, until he is behaving correctly. It will take a few times but once he learns that he will get no attention from you until he's calm he will stop the behavior. [/quote]
