I've googled and I've googled, I've read all the tips from various newspapers, I've read all the middle class blogs about coping and managing, and I think I'm done.
Someone please tell me what you do with a hyperactive, hyper-emotional three year old who's desperate to go to the playground, desperate to see friends his own age and family and doesn't understand why everything has changed or why he suddenly stays in all day every day with mummy and daddy.
We live in a tiny little house with a tiny back garden. I can't just fill it with slides and swings and shit. I've literally run out of ideas. I swear we have done everything we possibly can with him. Painting? Done it. Play-doh? Done. Silly play with flour and oil and all that shit? Done. Picnics in the garden? Done. Water activities? Done. Walks and bike rides? Done. Baking and cooking? Done. TV? Done. Tablet games? Done. Building a den? Done. I've literally run out of ideas and all we get each day now is massive meltdowns with him bursting into tears because he needs to get out and to play and see other people.
