What Can Cause Extreme Tiredness?
My son(Bendtley) is 2 years old, he has been having a very rough time going to sleep at nap time and bed time. He has been extremely tired/unbearable lately, and it makes it hard to have a babysitter since he will not listen to them either. Bendtley has not listened to me, or anybody in about 3 weeks now, and he has done nothing but screamed anytime I have tried to discipline him. We live in an apartment and I am worried that the neighbors are going to think I am beating my child, when that is not the case at all. I am at a loss and don t know what to do or how to make him stop this. I understand terrible twos and I have helped raised multiple toddlers, but I have never seen a child act like this constantly. He is rarely happy and I don t know what to do.

hi...I feel this is an early marker of hyperactivity. Does any body in the family was hyperactive as a kid. If not I don't see anything harmful going on in your son. Kids of this age need mother's attention throughout. If possible you can try staying with him all through and start working after he starts going to school. This is only a suggestion and I have seen many of my own patients and even neighbour' skids getting better after this.
