Tantrums are completely normal too. ❤️ they’re not an indication of being spoiled it’s just that when they feel an upsetting emotion that’s the only way they know how to express it. But it won’t be like this forever. It doesn’t mean you have to give in it just means they’re allowed to feel how they feel about it. At 19 months though distraction/redirecting is key. 🔑
Oh also wanted to mention as she approaches age 2 emotional regulation tools would be a wonderful help in this area. It teaches kids what emotion they’re feeling and healthy ways to cope. It’s always best to practice when they’re calm though. When they’re already having a melt down they’re not in a position to learn. Practice makes perfect. There are a ton of different brands and options. I like this one: https://genmindful.com/products/my-calming-strategies-poster?srsltid=AfmBOopSmQFGeCpSl3vDXy-XxcmHJWr2EqjivbNwL9XlVAVeoHkUvLYn
This is nearly every 1 year old that ever lived. You just gotta hold them for safety reasons sometimes. People see them scream and flail but it's whatever. Anyone with kids knows what's up that's just how it is the first couple years! This is sadly just part of raising toddlers. You aren't alone it's exhausting but at this point if they are running off you gotta just keep them near you however you can. That's why they made those leashes because it's impossible at this age. They will learn eventually.
This has been our experience almost every outing lately! I’d say it’s probably pretty normal at this age. I’m lucky enough to have a husband with the patience of a saint and he keeps me calm through it. We try to take him out all the time, mostly as an exercise to help us learn to work through it but also for his learning as well. I don’t have much advice, just solidarity!
It’s not really being spoiled they just wanna be independent and free. If it were me I’d just hold her to and from unsafe spaces and let her run free at parks. Or a backpack leash might be a good idea.
