Tantrums everytime I say no

No advice but we’ve literally gone through a week of hell with my daughter. It’s like a flick has switched and someone has replaced my happy daughter with the devil. I’m actually scared to do anything around her at the moment 😅😅 So I feel we’re in the same boat at the moment!

I feel your pain! For me, instead of saying no all the time I tried saying something like ‘we don’t do that, instead we do this’ and that helps a little. Tantrums are super difficult but I try and find out why my daughter is upset by saying ‘can you tell mummy why you’re upset so I can help you’ or just distract ‘oh wow look at the plane in the sky!’. It’s definitely not too young at all for the sticker chart, I also use it and it’s super effective for my daughter. I hope this helps in some way!

I read online that saying 'no' can trigger tantrums for most toddlers so as above I try to rephrase it. Distract works a treat sometimes but sometimes my little one doesn't budge so I just say firm and give her a cuddle if she allows me too. It's very difficult so I feel your pain. Hope this phase passes soon for all of us 🤞

So my little one kicked the F off in Sainsbury’s earlier cos he wanted me to buy him a car, I didn’t say no I just explained we have lots of cars at home and started talking about his favourite ones I find distraction always works best. But I always try and get down to his level when I’m talking to him so I know I’ve got his attention

Also yeah we don’t say no in our house 😂 I try saying ‘shall we do XYZ instead?’ Usually something I know he likes!

I feel you with this. The reason why they have them is because they feel big emotions that they don’t know how to express properly so aswell as standing your ground let them know that it’s okay to feel that way and be there to give them a cuddle when there ready also compromising is a life saver give them two options then they feel like there in charge also get down to his level xx
