Behavior

Yeah we did that and it didn’t work. So I’ve started doing the take away a toy method and that we have certain toys that if he listens then that’s his reward is to play or having him honestly just sit and try and talk out how he is feeling and what steps we can take to make it better which has helped a lot 3 is a very difficult age and they are really trying to work on big emotions. So we try and just manage the emotions behind the fit.

Yes, my daughter looks me right in the eye and does the thing I asked her not to. I hate it because eventually I can’t help but lose my temper and I know they’re young and don’t know any better but my god you’d think they would learn after the first few times 😩

I was so tempted to make this same post last night. My son’s behavior has been the exact same which is a complete flip from how he normally was (I know it’s not his fault). I’m in the same boat I do timeouts and it means nothing but the second my husband steps in he listens🤦🏻‍♀️ a whole level of patience I didn’t know I had to endure🙃

@Rebecca yeah I try to help her name her emotions. We’ve been watching bluey and Daniel tiger which have had good little explanations or songs for some emotions she can relate to. Some days are harder than others.

@Tara mine does same thing. Or I will tell her to do something and she just glared at me and walks away. Little teenager 😅 can’t believe it sometimes. Yeah I have been so tried with my patience lately. I have lost my cool and yelled a few times more than I would like. I always try to explain to her my own big emotions and apologize to her for letting it get the better of me. So hard right now. I’m trying so much to find coping tools. I’m not ever like this with anyone else I’m not sure why I get so triggered sometimes. I’ve been doing lots of podcasts and research on it. She’s a good girl overall usually just has these testy days 😂😭

Same here my little will look at me and say I'm busy mom and continue to do what I said not to. And then the high pitch screams omg it exhausting

Deep breaths mama 😮‍💨 you are doing great 🤍 child developmental specialist here! Sounds like something called hidden hunger aka nutrient deficiency. Some supplements should help. If not you will want to look into parasite cleanse for kids. When we are not getting the nutrients we need our nervous system goes on overdrive and we experience things more dramatically and on edge. I would also recommend a chiropractor to help relax and reset her nervous system. Some people are Leary of chiropractors. Find one that specializes in pregnancy and children. You can even requests no manual adjustments and they will use a gentle tool or gentle pressure points. Getting adjusted has helped my daughter combat illness, stop teeth grinding and sleep better and continue a short daytime nap.

@Nicole yes I definitely know those days all too well. Especially when we get snow.

@Caila hmm that’s interesting she has become super picky with her eating lately and I do worry she’s not getting very nutrient rich foods even when I offer them she usually will only have a bite or two. What kind of supplements do you usually see help just an overall multivitamin ? I’ve thought about doing maybe like a heavy metal cleanse for her because last year her lead levels were high every time we went to the dr. But I didn’t think parasite. Thank you good info to consider and maybe look into. I have an appt next week with her pediatrician so I may bring it up to her also. I do have a chiropractor that adjusted her when she was a baby I just haven’t gotten her in for a while too

@Nicole you could do a multivitamin 🤍 research and see what would work best for you and your babe 🌟 you can totally do a heavy metal detox! I would look into a parasite before heavy metals because parasites can carry and hold onto heavy metals in the body. So if you detox metals before parasites you’re potentially doubling your work. Parasites first and see results and then a heavy metal 🤍 how’d the pediatrician go?
