Toddler tantrums
I’m not going to lie I’m finding this stage of being a mum really really hard. My little girl is 3 in December but the tantrums are at an all time high and I feel like all I’m doing is trying to stop the next meltdown. She’s whining about anything and everything, hitting, screaming and shouting.
Please tell me this is normal because in the moment I think is this normal? I pick her up from nursery where she’s been good as gold and the moment we get home it’s like I’m constantly battling with her. She doesn’t nap during the day and isn’t a good sleeper either so I know she’s tired a lot of the time but it’s just so difficult. How some mums can be so calm is beyond me, I’m finding it really hard not to lose patience with her when she’s constantly shouting at me, refusing to do anything, things like changing nappy, getting dressed, brushing her teeth or hair 🫠 somebody please just humour me and tell me it’s totally normal and it’s a phase that will pass?!

@Sarah thank you! Sometimes just to know it is normal helps haha x
6 months late to this.. I’m in the thick of it right now and it’s such hard work!! Curious how it is 6 months on? Are the tantrums still bad? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
@Nicola it got better! He still has some tantrums but I believe that the communication barrier is the key to all of this. That age around 1.5-2.5 they are learning and they know what they want to say but can't say it, can't explain how they feel. So frustrating. As my boy has picked up talking it's like night and day most of the time.

23 days late here to humor you it's NORMAL! My niece and my little boy have gone through this. My son is actually going through it now. He's. Evil. I mean not really he's a good kid at heart but right now. Evil. Everything upsets him. And he's not even good at daycare he's terrible there right now too. Biting kids, pushing. The works. This morning from the moment he woke to when I dropped him off it was misery, screaming flopping around like a looney while I tried to dress him, throwing food. I just remind myself that if I blow up I'm showing him I can't control my emotions and he won't be able to either, that being said we all slip up. When he hits I get very firm and have raised my voice before and usually I talk to him after to explain why I wasn't being calm. We're doing the best we can girl. This to shall pass and sadly, we'll actually miss it. ❤️
