The question I would ask you first of all, other than changing his bed time
has there been any other changes in his life or yours?
Is he in a new daycare, or is there any fighting going on in the
house..ect?
Second of all if there has been NO enviromental changes, have you
introduced
any new foods to his diet?
A lot of things that can cause behavior issues never get looked at, or at
least not as often as they should.
I know my wife gets really cranky and out of it if we dont have pop in the
house (she goes into caffeine withdrawls and gets a bad headache - I was
the
only one that figured that one out after she went to the dr and he was
stumped, which I wasnt all that surprised he did not figure it out like he
should have as they are in to much of a hurry)
