Some days you just can’t win 🥴
Tell me some reasons your toddlers had a tantrum so I feel better about cutting her banana up wrong 😅

So what I can do is explain why that could cause a tantrum. So to them they have a idea in mind on how they are going to have the deal situation (for example they were expecting a red cup but got a yellow) to us it’s a “not that big of a deal” but to them and their underdeveloped connectors in their brain it’s a major issue and triggers their brain to basically go into meltdown mode. To them it’s a major deal.
So a comparison- to you it’s like your car (I dunno if you drive but if you don’t just imagine it) breaking down in the middle of nowhere and your phone is dead. It’s a major deal and causes anxiety. That’s the same to them but clearing up the banana. It’s nothing you’re doing wrong at all, it’s just how their brain is trying to process. It’s completely normal.
Sometimes understanding why helps so you know you’re not doing anything wrong xx

My son had a tantrum yesterday because I cut his sandwich in to small strips, just as I have the last few days since dental surgery, but he wanted a big boy toddler sandwich 😅 it definitely happens to us all

My son loves having a random when I open the gate after he's asked me to 😅
