I’m starting to think it is natural for this age. My little girl has become the devil in disguise. The back chatting, the NO, the not listening at all but smiling at me while I’m asking her to do something. It’s depressing and brings me down so much, many days I sit there and want to cry so much. But I think it is an age thing. I have just introduced a star chart but she doesn’t really give a dam about that right now either 😔
Same girl your not alone my little boy has completely changed he’s always been a handful but at the moment it’s so so hard and I’m struggling with these tantrums and not listening to me😢
In the same boat, but i try to be extremely patient and don’t let it to sink inside me. It’s a hard work but mainly with myself rather than with my little one. The phase will pass, that’s for sure!
In my experience the weeks when I had to give him too much screen time he gets wild but when I take him out or sit and play with him speak to him more etc he behaves better. Also check if his getting enough/right sleep and eating.
We’re having tantrums but nothing on that level (yet?) Try and stay as calm as possible. If he hits, we hold his wrist and calmly tell him that wasn’t nice. If a tantrum starts we leave him to it as long as he’s safe. Then if needed resume our chat afterwards with something like “people won’t want to play with you if you hit them” do you want to play with “mummy/daddy/friend?”
I don’t have any advice but my son is exactly the same, drains the life out of me with all the tantrums 🥴xx
