Constant tantrums and meltdowns
I don't know what it is lately but my son seems to only be happy and quiet for like 2 minutes at a time before just SCREAMMMING for seemingly no reason. He's getting mad and overstimulated at everything. There's a new baby he's never been jealous of but maybe he's starting to feel left out? We give him a ton of attention and he's never lacking even if we care for the baby. I'll play in his room and carry the baby if I have to. And when baby is napping still hold and cuddle as much as he wants. He is in OT and showed his therapist a glimpse of the daily frustration. Pointing to the door to leave the whole time (not upset just like hey there's the door let's go) but when it came time and she gave him to me again he just had a meltdown. Though once we started walking he was fine again.
I just want him to be happy again I feel like I'm not understanding his needs and don't know how to help him anymore

Okay that makes me feel a little better at least 😂😂
How old
22 months
I feel the same. We also have a 4 month old. I don't have any suggestions but here in solidarity.
Ugh 20mo old and in the same boat, they’re getting smart and also they’re babies.. so I think it’s natural and it’ll obviously pass into a normal two year old with the right navigation, but it’s hard for sure. My son is so annoying rn 😭😂

Mine is like that too. He's been acting this way for months. I was hoping it's a phase, but it's just getting worse. We got a gate for the kitchen and he's heartbroken that he can't go in while I'm cooking (he turns off the stove and climbs on the table) he just stands at the gate, shakes it, and screams 😂😂
