Screaming

My lo has been screaming a lot when we don’t let her do something she wants (normally because it’s dangerous or will break something). I was just wondering if anyone else’s toddler does this and how do you react? I’ve tried not commenting on it or trying to calm her.

My little one does this and we’ve noticed it’s mostly for a reaction. We try to ignore it because a negative reaction is still a reaction or we gently remind him inside voices. It’s difficult but I think it’s just a phase🤷🏼‍♀️

Same for us, same strategy - doesn’t always work but hoping it’s a phase!

My boy does the same and he gets so upset when I say no and screams and just seems heartbroken. I’ve just tried to limit what I say no to and only do it when it’s something dangerous. I was reading about it and apparently it’s a really bad feeling for them and that’s why they act like this because they don’t understand why they can’t go ahead with it. I just cuddle him in and tell him I’m sorry but it’s not allowed because it’s dangerous. I don’t know if he understands but he calms down eventually lol x

Yes, we get this to. Like above, we just try to stay calm and explain why he can't do it and if he will let him, I cuddle him until he calms down. When I'm cuddling him, I also like to distract him and talk about something he likes, make him laugh or show him something else x
