My wife and I are losing our minds! Our son is consistently becoming more and more of a handful.He is 15 months old. But, he is only happy when he is running, climbing, or getting into something he is not supposed to. What makes his behavior extra frustrating is that we have tried countless times to make him happy. We even have a gated off room in the house we dubbed the "Play Room". It is full of toys, books, climbing blocks, and all kinds of child safety precautions. It used to be easy to put him in there and he'd play or whatever. It made it easy for us to relax or get break and sit in there with him knowing he was in a safe environment. Also, we could cook in the kitchen or go to the bathroom which are right next to the playroom.However, lately, he wants nothing to do with the room or toys. The only time he is happy in there is when he is running on the couch. He learned how to climb on it and we are constantly trying to stop him from doing it. Also, he started jumping or running down his climbing blocks which has also resulted in some bumps, cuts, and bruises.We have also been letting him walk, or I should say run, around the other rooms in the house. We have gated off the stairs since he started to go straight for them and put locks on the kitchen cabinets. But he is still finding more and more ways to hurt himself or put himself in danger. Also, his tantrums are getting unbearable when we try to correct him. Or put him in the play room when we go to clean up whatever mess he made at the time.The most frustrating part is when we do play dates or get-togethers with other parents we know. Their kids will sit and play with toys or books or play in the water features when we are at the park. Our child insists on running marathons where we have to chase him. Won't sit still, won't play with toys, won't play with other kids, just wants to run and climb.Please any advice would be helpful at this point. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ueU8JE
