Does he get physical in anyway? If my son does I’ll move either him or myself away it worked really well and he hasn’t got physical with me at all as moving him away I’ll tell him “that’s not kind we don’t hit you hurt mummy” and I’ll leave it at that, tantrums also I use to ignore his tantrums won’t give any attention to them whatsoever until he’s finished his tantrum then I’ll explain to him ect that worked awfully well also he dosnt have tantrums at all and he’s just over 2yrs he’ll have a wine and a moan but as he doing that I ask him to look me on the eyes whilst I’m talking to him for example “ we’re not having chocolate rn because we will be having dinner soon” he’ll say ok mummy he’ll still be upset but he won’t be whining at me no longer about it I hope this is useful to you in anyway tbh I think I over explained so sorry 😅
@Lauren omg no this is exactly what I was looking for lol, not an over explanation I really appreciate it! I think I do need to ignore the tantrums. I honestly spend time during them trying to explain things to him but in no way is that helpful lol. I really appreciate this. It’s just overall so hard right now even bedtime is a fight lol. He throws all his stuff out of his bed and screams for me to come get them. He does that like 10-15 times no joke but I’m at a point where that’s just too much for me to be doing. He’s so testy lol, and I know a lot of that is my fault because I needed to not let it get to that point.
The first time he does that at night just walk out but stay outside the room if you get what I mean! Wait for him to calm down and then ask ok are you ready to go to bed now and just carry on the process then hopefully you should see the difference x
I also do take them out often like to the playground on our weekends we just planted some stuff in the garden. I try to be outside as much as possible, it can get difficult because they run off in different directions or not interested in doing the same things within close proximity. I’m just drowning. I’m trying my best to be patient with them but I’m so overwhelmed.
