Oh help. We are having a bad day at my house. I am becoming more and more convinced that my almost three year old cannot control his impulses. He sees something he wants and he takes it, even though he knows there will be a consequence. Today, it's moms jewlery. I have pulled him out of it muiltiple times, I have put him in the play pen for time out, which he hates. He screams and cries as though the world is ending. After the time is up, I let him out and he goes right back to it. Of course, ending up again in timeout...and the cycle continues. I suppose I could put the jewelry up, but then it would just be something else that would capture his attention. It's like he just can't help it. These days are becoming more and more frequent.
Any advice about how to help him control his impulses??
