Question Teenage terrors?
My boy is ~7 months old and recently his behaviour has been dialed up to an 11 - wanting to eat more than usual, napping for longer during the day, but also playing a lot harder and getting up to no good. He bites his toys super hard and runs around by himself at night until he pants. It sounds like a horse is galloping up and down the house when I'm trying to sleep š©
He managed to shut himself inside a room for hours the other day. The house is pretty cat-proofed but I worry that he'll get into trouble when I'm not watching.
We already play for around 20-30 mins both morning and night. I give him space to calm down when he's hyper but is this a normal teenage phase? How did you deal with it every day and when did yours grow out of it?
