Quiet hour: First he is irritable becsuse od lack of sleep. Second he should get to bed at an earlier hour for child his age. Third an hour before bedtime. Calm things down by playing sort music, read bland stories or try a warm bath. Dont get frisky with him by bouncing him around. Also cut out the tv.
