Hi all! Anyone else's toddler having major meltdowns Every. Single. Day!? Generally getting ready in the morning and getting changed/into bed at night. Looking for any suggestions or advice on how best to deal with it. I have a 4 week old too and the toddler is by far the more difficult child š¤¦

Literally all day, everyday x 2 (twins)
When will this end?

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 itās 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

Hey lovely, have you tried breathing techniques.. I know they may seem young at the age of 2 (if thatās 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 š©š„“
Also deep breathās for you as well, itās 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 itās just me doing the deep breathes in⦠outā¦. inā¦. out, but her listening and watching me do them will calm her down if she doesnāt to do it too. Other times, itās positive reinforcement/ distraction. I also noticed changing the way I word things, helped dramatically. Example ā No, donāt go outsideā turns into āLetās stay inside and do some drawing instead!!ā Re-focusing her mind on what I want her to do, rather than what I donāt want her to do.
Toddlers are 100% more difficult, my 6 month old is still a breeze compared to my toddler!!
