Is it an age thing?

Bug is 4. Closer to 5 than 4. I feel that we're having another boundary pushing experience. Lately he hasn't been as pleasant as usual and to be honest it's become difficult for him to do as he's asked. There's new behaviours as well and it feels like as well as all his own little habits he's bringing everyone else's home too. Last week, in the supermarket, I wa paying at the self serve checkout and he just ran away half way up the shop. That has never happened before! Of course, I explained the seriousness of it, it's not safe and someone could've taken him.

At home he is so argumentative and when he is told off he just starts shouting. The current favourite word from my sweet boys mouth is brat. I have no idea where he picked that up from.

I'm not sure if part of it is because he's fallen into the time between nursery and school. His birthday means he's one of the older children and he's started to say that he's bored at nursery and can't wait to go to school. It doesn't excuse his behaviour though and it's very draining.

This too will pass, right? Right?!
