Toddler tantrums = mommy needs an isolation room

02/08/2013





Not feeling it!
We have exactly one more week until we move and I am not feeling motivated to do anything! I have more than half the house to pack. I guess I can start doing his office and some more of the dishes. But I still have to go to the sheriff's office today to get the gun permits. He is so set on getting a gun at the next gun show. I also have to start planning meals to empty out the pantry. Totally not feeling motivated to research and put my brain to work for that. Ugh. I'm just so tired. I want to sleep all day and I can't! I guess it's time for some hot cocoa and boxes :/

On another note, I had my final appointment at my obgyn in town yesterday. Kayden is most definitely a boy and he likes to suck on his fingers. There was not one picture I have that doesn't have a hand or fingers in it.

Baby girl is having some serious temper tantrums. I'm not sure where they came from. She won't eat dinner. I have to put her in time out multiple times a day. I'm to the point to where I'm about to enforce spankings. It's to the point to where she's starting to remind me of a rabid dog. She bites at pillows and the furniture and her clothes when she gets mad. She screams at the top of her lungs when dinner is anything she doesn't like because she's never tried it before with the exception of last night...we had tacos. Who doesn't like tacos?! I'm doing grilled cheese or cheese quesadillas tonight so hopefully it goes smoother. I just can't figure out why she's acting like this. I've read everything and listened to other people and tried so many different methods. Nothing is working! Usually time out is only for 2 minutes because she's 2. Well I'm about to extend it. She screams and throws fits the whole two minutes. So it's going to get extended until she settles down I guess. I'm not sure anymore.

How old is she? I'm a toddler teacher Toddlers love to push buttons as they get close to two! As they get older, we think a lot of the behavior problems come from boredom.

Well.. My age range is 12-24 months. Over two is a little beyond my expertise. I don't know if this helps, but one of the things we do is switch out toys once in a while. Maybe if you put some old toys away for a week or two, then bring them out later, they'll be like new I'll try to think of more ideas. I have more of daycare mindset... I don't know much about how to help at home! A lot of our parents do say they're kids are very bored and naughty when they're home on the weekend

stronger outburst/tantrums are to be expected of children around the age of two. they're attempting to develop their own autonomy, and that can lead to some of these melt downs. it takes a lot of consistency, patiencte, boundaries, and creativity to get through it! perhaps try some sort of reward system for when she tries the new food items without the screaming? have a chart and stickers, or something similiar, and when she gets a certain amount, then she gets the reward (not necessarily food or a toy, but something she really enjoys).
