I swear since dd has turned one, it's just constant tantrums! All the time. In the morning she will have just whingy outbursts but in the afternoon it is way worse. I thought maybe she was getting too much sleep, so cut her down to 1 sleep a day, but that didn't make any difference and she's quite content to have 2 sleeps a day still. But its just the whingy cranky moods. Like she's not getting what she wants so she throws herself on the ground. And just crying at the drop of a hat. I am seriously at my wits end I don't know what's wrong with her. She cut her 2 top teeth and I thought it was from the teething and after she cut them everything would be alright, but it hasn't changed. I just want to know for this age is it normal? AM I the only one...
Uh honey - you haven't met my son yet have you... LOL
28 months on and STILL throwing tantrums..
His got way worse at 14 months, so hopefully she is giving you the worst of it now. Its hard for her to communicate to you what she wants so they get so very frustrated at this age.
Its difficult for everyone!!!
Just try to relax knowing that both of you will survive
OMG, Ava is 1 already?!?
No, you're not the only one. Natty started throwing tanties before she turned 1. And she still has them. Personally, I would hazard a guess that tantrums are rarely if ever the result of "too much" sleep, rather they are an issue of communication and control. A kid may not be able to tell you what they want, which is really frustrating. Or they may be able to communicate very well what they want, but if they are denied it (which is your call as Mum) that is also frustrating. IME this is definitely exacerbated by being tired or out of routine.
I still find constant tanties difficult to deal with (mainly when we are out - I don't mind as much at home), but I live in hope that they will slow down soon enough. Tonight DD had a mega one that went on and on in the bath because I washed her hair. She was waaaaaay peeved. But we've been on holidays and I could see specks of dirt on her scalp - it was soooooo grotty. I've no doubt that there'll be another one before bedtime or at bedtime. It is rough, but it's the way of many toddlers.
*sigh* Right here with you hun.... Tanty, tanty, tanty. Going to eat breakfast? Tanty. Wiping his face? Tanty. Changing his nappy? Tanty. Brushing his hair? Tanty. You get the idea.
Some days are worse than others. Today was a bad one. But I live in hope that tomorrow will be better
Please tell me i'm not the only one *sigh*
