Discipline toddlers
My girl has been showing such an increase in tantrums and meltdowns. It has to do in particular when she can't have what she wants. I give her choices but she just repeats what she wants until she gets it. If i take something she gets physical.
Getting her in her car seat to go somewhere she doesn't want to go is insufferable. It will be at least a 30 minute wait out if I gently approach. No "reinforcement" works unless it's treats or video on the phone. Please give me some ideas you do for your stubborn, smart toddlers 😭🙏

My toddler is going through the same thing!! It's been so hard 😫
I have no tips, just solidatity 😭 my son just keeps hitting me and saying "ow! That hurt" 🫠
@Melissa we've been practicing with stuffed animals so now he hits the stuffed animal it stuffed animal hits him or me so we can more calmly talk through no hitting. He even puts the stuffed animals in time out. If they like imaginary play with stuffed animals it might be with a shot
A couple things: Get her to help you with something at the destination. Example, you need her to go upstairs, ask her to help you feed the cats or put dishes away. Or help carry something to the car. Limit transitions. Instead of needing to do this then this then this, try combining. For choice, let it be something like choose stuffy to take with us to the store. Or which toy or blanket. For food. No help there. We struggle with this too. Hopefully if you can improve some of the other reactions you can have more energy for meals.
