When our son was that age, we really benefitted from positive parenting training. There are a number of different programs out there: the incredible years, Triple P, parent child interaction therapy, etc. For our family it helped just having guidelines to be consistent in our approach. The Child Mind institute website has helpful info on choosing one if you’re interested. Good luck! It’s hard being cooped up with active kids!
