Thank you! A lot of people say I just need to be more strict with him or that's just how 3 year olds are. I've been thinking for a while that there has to be some reason for his acting this way. To be honest he wasn't always like this. I feel like it's partly my own fault because we moved to a new city 7 months ago and a lot changed for us and he started acting out and between that and the move my own anxiety has gotten worse. I know there must be something I am doing wrong, something I am missing. I've wanted to get him to see a doctor but we have been on 2 waiting lists for months now and have not found a new family doctor in this new city. For my pregnancy I've been seeing doctors at clinics and the hospital in the weeks since I found out. We are hopeful to find someone very soon now.
