Hi everyone! New here and having some issues with my babies... Long story so I will try to make it quick. I have a almost four yo girl and a 2.5 yo boy. MY husband was diagnosed with Leukemia about 4 months ago, and spent all but about three weeks in one hospital or another. Obvioulsy the kids world got turned upside.... differnt people watching them all the time at differnt places etc... they actually spent the last month with living at my parents house, because hubby was in the hospital an hour away. We ALL have been home for about two weeks now(trying to get a normal life back) and the behavior in both of my kids is terrible-different problems for each of them. My biggest concern is my son, he does not listen to anything. I have tried all the techniques i know, time out, taking toys away, go to your room, yelling, spanking, he does not care about any of it. the worst problem we are having is bed time and naptime. we will do our nightly routine (bath, teeth, stories, songs, prayer, kisses and hugs,) and as soon as i close the door he screams this loud shreiking scream and lays on the floor behind his door and just kicks and kicks at the door- he is going to break it one of these days, this will go on for hours. I have tried ignoring, and many other things i am ashamed to admit to, but i am getting worried that something deeper may be wrong here. the bedtime thing is just the tip of the iceberg my entire day is spent dealing with him, and my daughter is gettting left out because of it i fear. Unfortunately my hubby is in no shape to really help, he is at home but still recovering.
Thanks
