Tantrums and mood swings

Does your toddler come home from nursery and literally just kick off at absolutely everything?? She dropped her blanket on the floor whilst in the car so was crying over that I couldn’t even try to explain that I was driving and couldn’t reach it for her. She was kicking her feet about so much her shoe fell off so was crying over that too! Then when she got it everything was an issue. She didn’t want her dinner she wanted yogurt. I have read about it being a safe place for their emotions but omg help me!!

Yes absolutly the same I was speaking about it to someone today, won’t sleep either won’t let me change her I had to go out to collect a sandwich I ordered whilst she had a pooey nappy because I physically couldn’t hold her down to change her by myself😭😭😭 nothing good enough I’m hoping it will pass 😭🤣xx

Yes, they will say he was really good all day and then when I get him home he is very good quick to tears and gets upset at the slightest thing

Same here… so how would you react? Is there is any solution to it? Do you try to explain everything and empathise with them so they feel like you get it and repeat yourself again and again or you just ignore and say that’s the rule we put pj’s on, choose if you want to do it yourself or mummy does it for you? if that doesn’t work and he still refuses you just do it for them?ln other words you force them ?

Yep my boy is the same after nursery because he’s tired is well I think they get overstimulated at nursery plus being tired so when they get home they let out all their big emotions🙃

My son seems to be like this the day after nursery. He doesn’t sleep or has very little sleep at nursery so I put it down to being tired. It’s hard work at times though.

My LO can be the same. I just give her cuddles, hum her favourite songs while hugging her, whisper gently that mummy is here it is ok to cry, or sit by her until the emotions have finished overwhelming her. I sometimes try reasoning with her but when she is worked up like that after daycare it is usually not about that object/food etc. she is just tired/overwhelmed, so I try to let her know I’m here and be her calm space.
