Being a foster parent is challanging and rewarding at the same time. You have only had your 3 year old for a month, he is diffenently not settled yet and acting out after birthparents visits is totally normal for these children. The longer he is in your home you'll notice that he reacts less and less to his visits. I know this will be hard given there ages and time placed with you but do not show that you adore the baby more than the 3 year old. Having a 3 year old in your house is like having a pre-teen sometimes, you never know how they are going to re-act. Instead of trying to decipline after visits just do a constant reassurance that you love him. Also, after all our visits we go out for treats. It dosen't always work but if you can put yourself in these childrens shoes they are confused, scared, and have no control of their environment. I don't know if I have helped but good luck.
