[QUOTE="momof4, post: 405947"] Since it came on suddenly, try the 3 biggies: more sleep, more food, and a check for ear infections. When my kids get cranky, it's usually one of those things to blame. After that, consider trying some other things that often help around here: more outdoor time and less tv. (Seriously, I'm not just an anti-tv nut; my kids are noticeably more relaxed and happy on days when they watch no tv). Then consider if there's anything going on at preschool or at home. And definitely give him lots of attention when he's behaving well and discipline him consistently when he's not. I'm not sure what you mean when you say he won't let you leave his side, but if I had a three-year-old who was having a tantrum, I'd escort them to their room and tell them I'd be back when they're calm. It would not be an option to hang out with me while screaming. [/QUOTE]
