My daughter started acting like this too! She’s teething. One tooth poked out but looks like 6 more are still trying to come out
@Alicia my boy has 5 coming at the same time 😫
Oh wow, I could have written this post. We are in the exact same boat!
Omg my LO will be 18 months on the 1st as well! Bday twins. But girl we in the same boat. I can’t do nothing without this little girl screaming bloody murder.
my son will be 18 months on the 4th of december. he is also going through this phase.. i just keep telling myself it’ll pass… i just try to distract him with things ik he likes.
My daughter turned 18months today & doing the exact same thing! Meltdowns, tantrums, super clingy, like won’t go to her dad or anyone! Wont let me out of her sight for a little without flipping out. I think it’s a phase but def glad i’m not alone. We heard they go through another round of separation anxiety during this age.
Most times it’s not even when I step away. He’s literally having a meltdown of some kind 75% of the day. I try and redirect him to something he likes , but then he see that as me playing with him and if I stop - meltdown. I try and reassure him he’s fine. I do all the things. I wish I could play with him every second of the day but someone needs to cook his meals 🤷🏻♀️ or clean or sometimes, unfortunately- I have to use the restroom too. Baffling to him. Sometimes I don’t even know what the meltdown is about. He will literally be playing with his toys, whining. Eating something tasty, whining. No, he doesn’t have any teeth coming it right now- that is different when he does. I can tell. I know we say this is just a phase but, I’m well over a month in. Like is there a point this phase settles? Or any tips? I’m really trying and I just want to cry.
my son is the same way. i sometimes, i just let him throw his tantrums.. let myself cool off. im looking into buying a learning tower for him so i can include him cooking meals with me or washing dishes.. learning towers are expensive though so i’ve been trying to search in fb marketplace. no luck with that either… so i might just give in soon and just make a purchase on amazon before cyber monday deals are over.
also i heard when all else fails, tv.. a fave movie.. or youtube. i also downloaded toddler games for him on my phone. that will keep him busy for at least 30 minutes. he loves matching the shapes and all. i also heard water play! last week, i needed a break.. i just sat him in his high chair and put a bowl of water in front of him to splash around. i didn’t care if he made a mess because its water and i planned to mop later that day anyway. i want to get a splat mat soon so we can do more water play. anyways, that lasted him a good 30-45 minutes.

my son will be 18 months on the 13th. he does the EXACT same thing!! only when he’s upset though. he also head butts objects or throws himself onto the floor repeatedly 😭.. his molars just came in so i assumed it’s that & him not being able to channel his anger just yet. i try to redirect it & stop him if he looks like he’s about to accidentally hurt himself
You’re not failing at all! It’s honestly just part of toddlerhood! Is he teething? My little one has been like this for the past month and his teething really bad! Just remember they are tiny humans who have very big emotions and we are their safe space! I know it’s hard and it can be frustrating but it’s not always like this!
