Tantrums more intense since turning 4?

Has anybody else’s kiddos tantrums gotten crazy ? My son has started getting bad reports in daycare he’s been taking his clothes off at school and shoes and socks and throwing them when he gets mad for about the past 3 days and has been threatened to be sent home if it happens again today, he’s telling me no a lot more and now actually not doing some of the things I’m asking it’s been an intense couple of weeks is anybody else noticing this kind of change as well since turning 4 ?

She most likely has autism but her anger and meltdowns have gotten worse in the last 3 years she'll be evaluated on the 25th of April hoping this will help us get her anger and emotional support she needs bc I've tried everything and it doesn't work or help

praying 🙏🏿 you get some clarity and tips/assistance for you and your baby girl at your upcoming appointment !

Me too she bites hits punches kicks when she's mad or overstimulated if she's upset she'll scratch at her scalp till it bleeds (idk how to channel that to something else bc it's negatively effecting her hair growth she has a bald spot from doing this) she chews on charger cords and head phones she likes things done a certain way or her way all together if it's not she gets very frustrated/mad

My understanding is that meltdowns are common for this age. To expect anything less or not to have a safe space for them to co regulate with a teacher is pretty shitty.

My son seems to have issues too! Hang in there

yes couldhave written this myself in this last week my sons emotions have been all over the place. hes been fine at school but at home totally different story. hes normally a chilled little boy so its thrown us altogether whats going on. we have had a look online about what happens at age 4 and states about a Limbic Leap. have a look into it. x

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
