18m old screaming like there's no tomorrow
My LO was pretty manageable till now and I guess we're starting terrible twos already. So many tantrums and screaming. Scratching, hitting, kicking what not. I feel like I can't spend another minute with her and that makes me really guilty. How are you all handling these tantrums? For moms who have done this before, how long does this phase last.
I have a 3 year old and an 18 month old and I’m also a sleep consultant. So 3 things I know for sure, sleep regressions happen around 18 months cause there’s a huge developmental leap happening and it’s completely normal and it passes, however as they develop further there will be more! I have my 18 month old just leaving his regression but really testing and my 3 year old is basically a terrorist. When it comes to tantrums; depending on the circumstance, I either completely ignore it or give them a hug to help them regulate their emotions! Hang in there mama!
