18 month old meltdowns

Yep it’s gotten a lot worse recently too so I’m hoping it’s just a phase 😫

@Amy I’ve had it for two weeks now I just was never warned about how bad it could be 😢

My little one is melting down all the time. Currently they’re normally over pretty quickly but that could change any moment. It’s 100% normal toddler behaviour, it’s nothing you need to speak to a doctor about 😊

Oh yes! Solidarity!! 🤜

Yep, just came on here to see if anyone else was in the same boat 😅

@Bryony haha you’re not alone girl I am struggling so bad!

Oh yes! Mine just decided to lie down on the road today. Luckily it was just little cul-de-sac with no traffic.

All the time 🫠 We had one in Waitrose on Friday because she wanted to put the groceries we just bought back in the basket and not in the pram. She lay on the floor in the middle of the self service tills and screamed, kicking her feet, and it’s Waitrose so it was just me and a handful of pensioners, all staring at us. I’d only nipped in for a couple bits, I wanted to disappear 🫣

@Rhiannon I feel your pain had this exact issue in B&m today!!!

They’re brutal aren’t they? My LO has been having proper tantrums since 14 months but I’d say I’ve finally found a strategy that works for him at home (90 percent of the time). When we are out though, it’s almost impossible. I just try to make sure he doesn’t crack his head open on the pavement when falling to the floor in rage or knocking over a trolley or other shoppers when kicking his arms and legs in Costco 😭

Ps: my husband was like - he’s not normal, we need to speak to a doctor. But, they are normal, they just totally suck and are so embarrassing!
