Oh the toddler stage is really no joke, I think it would make the most peaceful people scream. Definitely take your moments if you need them, it's better to walk away than blow up on them. These kids have big feelings and a small thing to us is a BIG thing to them. Try talking to him and helping him learn to take deep breaths. I also try to talk to my daughter when it's all said and done to understand why she's doing what she's doing. One thing that has also been REAALLLYY helpful for me is, when she's having a meltdown, is just giving her a hug. It helps us both calm down and makes her feel that bit of love that she needs. You got it, OP. Trust me you aren't alone
My LG is 2.5 and the tantrums have picked up big time. I have heard that the 3's are called the threenager stage and the 4's are called the fournadoes. Not looking forward to this if it's true. 🥲 You aren't a bad mum and this is normal behaviour. I tend to find distraction helps, or giving my LO options that get me the outcome I want... ie do you want to jump out the door or do you want to walk out the door. Do you want to do this or that. I think it's a control thing.
Yep my son is almost 3 and it has begun. It’s more of me trying to train myself to be patient and stay calm.
3.5 is SO HARD!!! hang in there!
It’s a tough age, so is 4…5 gets a little better maybe….but then around 6…the back talking comes in, so honestly it’s just always hard 🫠 welcome to the jungle 😂!
I hate toddlerhood and I will die on that hill lol I’m sure I’ll cry about how cute moments were when he’s older, but honestly I want out of these trenches. You are not a bad mom. Toddler phase is the worst 😭 way too much going on.
I have a 3.5 year old. I feel your pain! The 2 year old tantrums were hard but 3 is on another level, it’s the cheekiness and attitude that gets me. I actually dread having to leave the house purely because of the getting ready process 🤦♀️
My toddler is 1 crazier than ever
Omg I’m sorry I accidentally clicked “you’re a bad mom” . Being a mom is hard I hope things get better. ❤️ I know some kids react like this when they eat red40. Idk maybe something to pay attention to.
