Tantrum

Help! My 2 year old almost 3 year old has bad tantrums is it normal she slaps me in the face when I get down to her level today was the worst one so far she screamed the bus down and when we got off she’s standing infront of the buggy not letting me push it then slapping it kicking it and screaming neighbours came out because it sounded like someone was murdering her she’s always been quite smart and she talks really well for her age do any other people have 2/3 year olds like this ? Feel like such a shit mum

My daughter is the exact same, I find her tantrums so hard to deal with. We’ve got a 8 week old as well so I think her tantrums have gotten worse with the adjustment but she screams like mad, stamps her feet, throws things, hits us or bites us. It’s very upsetting. I’m right there with you x

It’s really hard isn’t it! Was nearly in tears everyone tells me it’s part of them growing up but it’s so hard to deal with she’s prefect in nursery but not at home don’t know what I’m doing wrong must be hard for you with a baby to! X

Oh yes. Her hitting has got worse but I'm trying it control it. I tend to buckle her in her buggy and let her scream if she starts being nasty. Got to keep persevering. I'm also 33 weeks pregnant and worry for when the baby comes

My daughters tantrums are also really bad. I started listening to the audio book called HOW TO TALK SO LITTLE KIDS WOULD LISTEN. I'm still listening to it but already learned a lot and the bits I can remember, that and rewards, rewards, rewards, is already making a huge difference.

Yep totally, me and my partner deals with these almost all day nearly every day. It’s crazy but we get by with firm talking to our boy, he goes in times outs, bedroom till he’s calmed down. Stands in corner ect travelling public is probably worst he’ll try choke his self with his back pack reins and drops to the floor xx

@Ghitta tell us please what it is called xx

I read that when your child is perfect at nursery and really difficult with you, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong, it’s because you are their safe space, they can relax and be completely themselves with you because they feel they are in a safe enough space to do so. Don’t feel likes it’s your fault or that you are doing anything wrong, nothing toddlers do is logical, they are still learning how to control their emotions and self regulate. You’re doing great!

@Sam hun I’ve got a two nearly 3 year old and a nearly 2 month old. It is crazy no joke some days are good some days arnt xx

@Trinity is it bad that I'm dreading January when she goes to nursery.

No as usually there are more behaved some place else rather than home. Following on ‘Francesca’ words shes is correct kids do behave differently xx
