First off, you haven't raised a 3 year old. He's still a baby??????? I've raised my oldest dd,my 24 y/o dd and 17 y/o ds. When my ds was 3ish, he was so mischievous and a devil. He use to escape from the house all of time. We had to put locks going all the way up the door and once I caught him, he stacked a couple of chairs up and was trying to unlock them all. He use to bang his head on the corner of the door way so he had bruises all over his forehead. We lost him at a park in Fl. The list goes on. He was a hellion. Once, his 1/2 brother was suppose to be watching him In our front yard, well Tyler disappeared and was in the guy's car across the street from us. He's an honor roll genius now. He's the youngest 3rd degree black belt/head instructor at his martial art's center. Hang in there, discipline him and it'll get better.

Honestly I think you might need to take him to see if he might be allergic to different foods. It could be a chemical imbalance. You'd be surprised that the things kids will do when they eat certain foods. I am not saying this is the only thing that can be wrong.
He could be jealous of his sister,and this is the way he is lashing out. Big time. If you do sit in in time out, do it for just the age he is. if he's 3yrs old, do it for 3 mins. And so on. Be consistent. And in control, of you. You're the Mom not he. You can show him love, but do it with a sternest.
I have children with tourettes symdrome, and adhd, ocd. a.d.d. Its been a very long and hard road, Don't let anyone make you put your're child, or children on medication. Learn to use other methods first. Yes it's a long rd, but in time, the child will come to terms with what makes him, unhappy. And yes even at 3 yrs old. I have many stories about what I've gone through. And have thought of writing a book on that very topic. Maybe one day I shall. Until then, he's you're child not anyone else's, You deep down must find him, and learn to deal with his needs. Im I faith in all Mom's , so you will do just fine.
If you ever want to chat, email me, and I'll give you my #, until then, Big hugs.
