YES. Everything is a fight. We don’t do screens (yet) or dye…
@Lexie same to the no dye
They get big feelings and get frustrated. Just be gentle with him he can't express his feelings as much as you and I can
I need to get back to the book playful parenting. And have that on a regular revisit book list
It's written by a play therapist. He advocates time in and connecting with your child .... Over time outs for tantrums and other difficult behavior
That’s so hard. I’m not sure with your son, but what helps me with mine is working on his communication. He gets frustrated bc he lacks the ability to communicate what he wants. Working on words he can say has helped. He now says up and a variety of other words that help him express what he wants. Even if he doesn’t say it I do each time we do that action. For example, “up mama.” When he’s screaming I try and guess what he wants and I say, “I think you’re trying to tell me you’re all done” or whatever I am guessing he’s needing. It’s not easy. You’re not alone.
Too much sugar in the diet increase animal fats and protein. I’ve heard that works
we listen to ms rachels songs for littles when were in the car and the put ur pants on song really helped us with getting (and keeping) clothes on with no tears.
When my daughter was mad and frustrated. I would always say “Help” and help her and do it constantly. Now when she’s trying to do something she will say “Help, Help” and then I help her. It’s not flawless and can still escalate but it’s reduced her getting to that point for sure.
I’m going through the same thing! 😫 I know it’ll pass but it’s rough.
