Mine is a NIGHTMARE at the moment. The tantrums recently have been epic. Throwing himself on the floor screaming, sometimes they last for over an hour. I bought him a book called Barbara throws a Wobbler in the hope it would give him the language to talk about what he’s feeling and a way, in 3 year old terms, to address them etc and it hasn’t worked. Yours might be a naughty monkey mine just being a brat. We too have a baby, whose 5 months but we pour attention on our son take him to interesting places ensure he has lots of rich experiences, play with him endlessly and actively so finding these incredibly gruelling, I adore him but struggling to like him sometimes. Really hoping it’s a phase.
Me 🙋♀️ he insists on waking up at 4.30/5am, so is absolutely exhausted, and his behaviour is super challenging. I had another baby 3 months ago and to make matters worse, daddy has moved out and gone AWOL so my son’s little world is upside down. I feel like I spend my whole day telling him off, asking him to stop, putting him in time out. Every hour that goes past I celebrate surviving!!
