@Carla it is so draining! I don’t no how to handle this situation normally by talking to her she would listen but she dosnt even listen now she just finds it funny and carry’s on! To the point I dread taking her out on my own! It’s so hard 🙈 xx
They say with with year it gets worst my son now drops to the ground at the shops
Your not alone b my son has full on tantrums even when he gets what he wants he kicks off think they call it the frightening threes😩😩😩just gotta ride it out - my son has had me full embarrassed out in public when he kicks off but there just young and still getting to grips with there emotions xx
You didn't do anything wrong! Just the opposite - if your three-nager doesn't push boundaries and tests you then you need to ask yourself what's wrong. I know that hearing it is all normal doesn't practically help the day to day but try and take it more lightly, it is a phase and it will pass. Stay connected to your child even in the worst situations and you will see improvement soon.
My son is the same, he laughs, rolls his eyes or runs about laughing, feel like I’m talking to a brick wall, never cried so much ever xx
Yep, same here with my 3 year old. I try to distract her from whatever the tantrum is about, but sometimes you just gotta let them get their emotions out. Sometimes I’ll put my girl in her room if she just won’t calm down at all and tell her to call me when she’s ready, it’s normally 2-3mins then she says I’m ready now I’m happy again. Get down to their level and give them a big cuddle if they want it, they just don’t know how to handle emotions and deal with things properly. It’s THE most tiring and draining thing, it’s helps to know it’s just all part of being 3 though than having a “bad” toddler. My girl kicked off about 5 times in the shop and so I took her to the side sat her on my knee for a bit (yes people were looking) but it helped her calm down. Do what works best at the time x
@Clara doing this doesn’t work with my boy, he now started screaming at me in my face, time out, room time, taking things off him he doesn’t care, My 5 year old daughter was never like this (yes I know all kids are different) We’ve had health visitors, behaviourist and everything out and nothing is working x
@Carla it’s so difficult isn’t it. Hopefully it’s just a phase! Just try to remain as calm as you can, could he be getting over tired and need a little nap? The other day my girl was a nightmare… in the end I put her in bed and she was much happier after she woke up. Could also be what he’s eating? Apparently I was awful when I was little if I ate food with certain E numbers in 😅 Follow through with whatever you say you will do so he’s not getting confused, if you threaten to turn something off/not do something then you have to stick to that. It’s so hard but just think they are still figuring everything out and have more and more questions of where boundaries lie. Just think he will be one determined young man when he’s older 🤣 Big hugs!
@Carla same here Carla it dosnt work regardless what I do :( hopefully it will pass soon my partner has worked away all week too so I’m feeling the pressure me on my own got one more day then he’s back for the weekend tomorrow tea time he gets back! It’s so hard at times :( x
No advice, I’m in the same boat with my son 3 and he turned the same he’s 4 on Monday it’s been the most draining day, School have even pulled me in because they think I can’t control my kids because he totally different in school then he is at home xx
