Hello There. i can understand your concern, but i feel at this age its normal. children tend to do such things at this age. don't have to worry much about it. children want attention and they try all means to get what they want. you have to be calm with them and talk to them about it and also teach them what is to be done and what not. play with them and take them out once a while. consult a paediatrician for further help regarding this. best regards, Dr. Anil Kumar Jain
