Hi K.,
I've been having similar "issues" with my 3 year old over the past six months. My pediatrician said my son was displaying separation anxiety which sounds like your son might be also (he becomes anxious when he is separated from you - even if he is in the same room as you and your husband and he's not included in the conversation or activity does he "act out"?) - I would let your pediatrician know and I would look into a parenting class -- something you and your husband can take together. The best advice for you and your husband is to not become anxious or mad when your son "acts out" (because that will only make your son more anxious) - speak to him in a kind yet firm manner and at his eye level when he "breaks a rule" ... such as not staying in his room at bedtime. Hope this helps
