I have two very boisterous boys, I know that they FEEL things very strongly but find they scream at me whenever something isn't how they would like, particularly our 5 year old. example: he bursts into tears and screams at me because I put tomato sauce on his lentil burgers "You should have known that chilli sauce would have been much better with this meal, how could you put tomato sauce on it? What were you thinking?". So I calmly explain I will put chilli sauce on as well and he calms instantly but I don't!
This is just one example but our 3.5 year old is still trantrumming and ignoring what I ask and both scream at me if I change anything. I have had a hard time with some PND with son #2 and have never consistently got back into gentle parenting. I know they need me to be calm to help them but I would really welcome some input on getting back into consistent gentle parenting so it isn't too jarring for our boys...as you might guess they don't transition well- either of them!
