Hi
My DS has started throwing major tantrums and I know that most of them are triggered by hunger, tiredness, overstimulation but there has been a couple of times which seem to come from absolutely nowhere.
The other day when we were on the train and he shouted really loud in a passengers ear (she leant right forward to escape the sound) and I reminded him that we were indoors and asked him to apologise to her. This has never been a problem before but this time he just let loose and refused to apologise. He had a huge melt down and I ended up having to put him in the stroller (while hanging onto DD),to let him calm down and then explained to him that he still had to apologise, which he did and everything was fine. Then yesterday he was rude to a friend and again when asked to apologise he just refused and had a tanty.
So am I doing the right thing with, knowing how he is currently responding, asking him to apologise or should i give him a couple of weeks grace period. Also could I have dealt with the above better?
Where are these tantrums (which involving the screaming, tears & lately lashing out at me ) coming from.
Thank you
