How often do your 3.5year olds have tantrums?

[wysiwyg]

Depends on week DD turns 4 at end of may and previously not really given to tantrums but past month we have had prob 4 a week, as in she gets so upset and out of control there is no reasoning with her.

DS is turning 4 tomorrow, rarely now, maybe once a week and only if overtired. At 3.5 he was much more emotional and would have 4-5 a week, even every day sometimes. Grew out of it around 3y9m

Most probably 2-3 times a week. She had a ripper at the shops today . But upon saying that she is a also a very loud child so on a daily basis she is prone to yell at me about something or yell at her siblings, a lot. According to her kindy teacher though she is perfect of course and always uses "inside" voices...

DD2 is a shocker at the moment - she's nearly 3.5.

I swear some days she's going to pop a blood vessel or something. There's no stopping her so I put her in her room to calm down - touching her only makes it worse so I just leave her alone. Think she's like me when she's cranky - leave me alone too until I can get myself over it.

I'd say she has a minimum of 2 a day. The joys of a threenager.

I thought 2 was terrible but 3...

We had a really difficult patch at 3.5:

But she seems to have come out of it in the last month or two (now a few days off 4) and whilst she's still prone to melodrama, is back to her usual temperament.

Google 'planning with kids three and a half' - there's an interesting theory on the issues around 'half' years.

Hold on!!! xoxoxox

Is 'a lot' an answer you wanted to hear? Three does suck.

I'm in the same boat as Arimeh, everyday at least once, usually more. And he's not three any more and it hasn't stopped

DS2 is 3 and is a nightmare he cracks it and has tantrums multiple times a day!! He screams and lashes out.

You girls really have made feel better - well not do alone when I'm dealing with the frequent daily/ hourly tantrums!
