Reminds me of the little girl who had a little curl. When she was good, she was very, very good and when she was bad, she was horrid. Don't want to worry you, but this sounds like the behaviour of my DGS1, who has just recently been diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome. He was charming and very bright at nursery school, but different again at home. He has nipped and hit me and has even tried to bite me when he has a meltdown. Soon as it is over, and he has gained control, he is his lovely little self again.
All I can suggest is "wait and see". It may be just a case of the "terrible twos".

well, you'll have to be careful now she's said that to him! If you have him to stay he might think he has been sent away. I should leave that until halfterm.

Some kids just are little b***ers. Don't worry about it. smile

Can anyone offer advice about coping with a 3 year olds temper tantrums? My DD is at her wits end with him, he is the youngest of three and is at pre-school for half the week where he is apparently very well behaved. Any small thing seems to set him off at home and he then throws things, hits his parents and upsets his older siblings. They've tried 'time out' (useless!) and withdrawing treats, toys etc. When he calms down he is usually very apologetic and loving to them. Health visitor suggested more 1 to 1 which he gets anyway. DD told him she was going to send him away which upset him - I wondered if having a few days on his own with us might help both of them? Only thing is, he might think it's a treat as he absolutely adores his grand-dad!
