Is it just my kid

It’s the age!

It’s age most likely. With my 3yr old we cut out artificial dyes and it helped a bit. But we still have meltdowns.

@Shyanne we don’t really do artificial dyes! That’s why I was thinking is it the iPad? But we use that also in moderation 😭

@Jessica same here. I hate the iPad meltdown.

@Shyanne it’s really ridiculous!!! I’m like dude you cannot be this upset! That’s why sometimes I wish he had a sibling to play with 😭 working on that 😂

@Jessica lol 😂 she only gets Disney and educational games and I lock her into the app. Sibling is hard because she treats him like a baby doll

My almost 4 year old is exactly the same way. She gets so overly angry/emotional about things that Aren’t that big a deal. Like screaming for more water and in like, “what happened to just asking momma for some more water? It’s not like I’ve denied you water for days!!” It’s exhausting. Lol

@Ellie yes! Lmao literally! I asked him if he wanted a snack and he know what we have in the pantry so he asks me what snack I’m like well you know what we have so what do you want and legit meltdown starts yelling I’m like wtf????? Lmaoooooo

@Jessica or my favorite is when she asks me for something, like “can we go play downstairs.” I say yes, and start to walk downstairs and she goes, “Wait, NOOOOOOOO!!! I don’t want to go down there!!” I’m like… “you literally Asked ME to go downstairs. I’m doing what you asked!!” 😭

@Ellie lmaooooooo it really makes you feel crazy!!! I’m like what is happening and what did you do with my sweet child 😂😂😂😂

It's the age. My almost 4 year old is going through it. If I tell her she needs a coat we fuss about it. If I tell her no or not right now we say things like 'I don't love you anymore' or 'I won't play with you ever again'. Lucky for me I work in the prek room at school and know all the social emotional skills. So I ask what she's feeling (we've talked about how our body feels with different emotions) she said 'I'm mad at you'. I then tell her 'it is okay to be mad, but it is never okay to be hurt someone or say mean things' I tell her to go take a few minutes to calm down (me trying to help her calm down makes it worse. She likes to either sit near me or go to her room. Then she comes to me and says 'I'm sorry I said a mean thing to you'

@Alyssa wait omg today I had him lay down for a nap and he was like “you’re not the best mom anymore, I don’t love you” and I was like 😭 and it’s just always always angry upset the world is ending over things that were never a big deal before 😩 he then apologizes as well but I’m like where is this all coming from!!
