Behavior

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 😂😭
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.
