I really don't know how to deal with them
He's obviously too young to be reasoned with or have anything explained to him but what do I do instead?
If he wants something he can't have he literally screams himself hoarse. He throws himself at me, lashes out, throws things.
I'm completely at a loss. He won't let me cuddle him but screams if I put him down. Distraction works sometimes but not always.
I feel like a crap mum, we're both in tears now because I feel so bloody guilty and helpless.
What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing instead?
