Toddler tantrums

Anyone else experience this…. So he could have a melt down about anything. Sometimes he will just scream and shout. Could be his trains fallen off the track and he has full on scream sessions sometimes lasting ages. Screams if something doesn’t go his way. He even cries or winges when asking for juice!?!? It’s soooo tiring And become very very needy I have to do everything with him and everything for him or that’s a problem too. He’s just turned three and he’s always been like this tbh but sometimes it’s getting worst: Anyone else experience this! Or have tips I’ve tried so much. I have no Time for me it’s affected my mental health so much with his attitude I don’t want to eat, get ready or do anything 😢 Please be kind!

Yes 😭

No personal experience of this (yet) but perhaps https://biglittlefeelings.com/ is worth a search and see if they have anything that might be able to help you through this phase! X

Lolol definitely been there and 2.5 to 5 has sucked with two of my three kids so far. The one who was extreme I just assumed was normal boy as I had nothing to compare it with, until kindergarten which we found out that he has ADHD. Hang in there.

I would see what his triggers are and the patterns of any and try not to walk around on egg shells but maybe find fun distractions for him when he is hungry and you are preparing food and have a snack ready and juice, and after the initial meltdown phase when he is more calmed down talk him through it and hold him comfort your lo if you haven’t been already because I would get really frustrated too with my daughter when she was 2 but I realized they are not able to control their emotional responses to certain things like thirst and not getting a toy etc…I Instill age appropriate discipline because it’s not good if my daughter develops a sense of self entitlement so I try to teach her the value of waiting and patience…you just have to let them vent and get it out…that’s gonna take a tough skin, sometimes I just roll my eyes when she has a tantrum lol 😂 and then try to redirect her

I feel like my son is the same most days too he will do the same especially when he doesn’t get what he wants or is hungry, tired. It’s really exhausting

I’m going through the exact same T-T my son will turn 3 soon too
