Discipline three year old?

Question

I have a 7 yr, 3.5 yr and 3 mo old. Lately the three year old is really acting up, not listening, always waking up the baby. He is driving me crazy. I am sure he feels he is lacking attention with the new baby in the house and doing things to get my attention. PLEASE help. He is horrible.

ah, the middle child syndrome! Most likely he is just looking for attention that was his until the baby came. My son was almost 4 when his sister arrived. It's been a year now and thankfully he is pretty good with her. When I would put her down for a nap though I would always first put my attention on my son for at least the first hour of her nap. I would read, play games with him, or play cars - his favorite thing. Just getting that one on one time with me made a difference for him. He would always be much happier throughout the rest of the day. Yes, the house stays messier, but happy children are better than a clean house.  Good Luck - it's not easy.

Middle child will spend the rest of his life trying to get more attention for their parents. I know it's a crazy time with all those kids, but there are thing that you can do to make the middle child more a peace. One on one time, and you can also get you're oldest to entertain the middle one with art activities. Maybe get them a build project they can build together.
