Omg twins!!! 🙈 You poor thing!!

Me too.... with twins.... from sunrise to sunset

That sounds so difficult. My daughter started the terrible two tantrums and then they stopped once her communication improved. Now that she can kind of tell us what she wants and we can manage to understand eachother things are so much more calm. When it was at it’s worst, I was listening to podcasts about this and they made me feel much better and gave me new ways to approach the tantrums and it completely changed my mindset towards the reasons she was having tantrums and how to help her through them. I found they really helped x

Oh no, kids are all so different! Also congratulations on your new baby, I am full term now and feeling so nervous to have two 😬 I loved listening to ‘Beyond the Bump’ it is super relatable and makes you feel totally normal 😂 Hope that you can find something that works for you all x

I'm glad it calmed down for you! Do you have any podcasts you'd recommend?? His communication is really good but sadly it doesn't help 😒

Hey lovely, have you tried breathing techniques.. I know they may seem young at the age of 2 (if that’s what age bub is) but it will eventually help I started doing it with my older daughter and she started doing it on her own Have started doing it with my youngest daughter as terrible twos has well and truely hit 😩🥴 Also deep breath’s for you as well, it’s never easy..

My eldest, 2.5 has some super crazy tantrums sometimes. Depending on the tantrum, depends how I react. You soon pick up what works best for your baby, in different situations. We do breathing exercises, sometimes it’s just me doing the deep breathes in… out…. in…. out, but her listening and watching me do them will calm her down if she doesn’t to do it too. Other times, it’s positive reinforcement/ distraction. I also noticed changing the way I word things, helped dramatically. Example “ No, don’t go outside” turns into “Let’s stay inside and do some drawing instead!!” Re-focusing her mind on what I want her to do, rather than what I don’t want her to do. Toddlers are 100% more difficult, my 6 month old is still a breeze compared to my toddler!!
