Dealing with tantrums in public
How is everyone dealing with this? Today our little one was happily walking round town then stopped and lay on the floor screaming and banging his head. Tried calmly sitting with him quietly for a minute, cuddling him, nothing was working he was trying to kick us away.
Eventually he stood up but just kept running in the opposite direction, every time we tried carrying him he would throw himself backwards and wriggle down. This carried on for around 25 minutes eventually got him to the car and had to hold him down whilst we strapped him in and he stopped crying after around 5 minutes in the car and we all headed home after a short trip out. Another unsuccessful day out 💔

This happens to be sometimes on a daily basis!! The smallest thing can sometimes set off such huge trantrums. I try the ignore it, which doesn’t work and especially in public, I can’t just leave him sat there as it might be dangerous. So I pick him up, which is normally what he’s crying about. Sorry I have no advice either but I am hoping this phase ends soon!
@Kate yeah this is exactly it, at home I’ll just walk away if I know he’s safe but in public we carry him but he’s getting harder to actually carry without dropping him when his screaming and wriggling around. Then me and hubby end up arguing about it, nightmare 😂 yeah hopefully it passes soon 🙏 x

This sound like my life on a regular basis! Then he'll surprise me and do something I'm apprehensive about and be an absolute angel! I end up crying and then we move on. I have no helpful advice unfortunately 😂
