Is anyone else really struggling with tantrums and emotions? My LG is having the worst meltdowns iv ever seen. We are currently on holiday and are tempted to go home as it’s getting us down so
Much.
You say no or take something away that she shouldn’t be playing with and world war 3 starts. I try to remain calm and keep her safe but she has started scratching her arms and throwing herself around that she then hits her head making the situation 10 times worse 😩
I honestly feel like the worst mum at the minute as I really do not know what to do. The meltdowns can last for 10-15 minutes and by the end of them
We are at breaking point.
Does anyone have something similar going on or any suggestions with what I can do to help x

I have the same issue and pick my battles, and stick by ‘dangerous playing safely’. They need to figure out certain things for themselves.
I have also found that being near her/holding her and taking swap breaths myself helps. Also going outside in the garden seems to quickly change her mood xx

I have head that over stimulatin can cause tantrums. Is being away too much for her?
Is she having too much screen time(no judgement, some weeks we really rely on mrs Rachel!!)xx

I think it is pretty normal at this age. My little girl is the same if I take something from her. It works much better if I give her a choice like " that's dangerous. You can leave it on the floor or give it to mummy "

My 18 month old LG has major tantrums when she is extremely tired (but she refuses to sleep in the pram). Honestly the looks I have received from people is crazy 😂😅 although my child definitely pushes the boundaries, I stop her from doing what she’s not supposed to, allow her to have her tantrum but offer her a cuddle and get down to her level and normally does calm her. It’s sooo normal (but so frustrating) as they can’t communicate their feelings properly, so they have a melt down instead 😭😂
