My daughter got over having tantrums about 6 months ago but has just started having them in the last few days. I work in a school and we have been off together now for nearly two weeks. She has stopped napping and might be teething a little. The difference this time is that it isn't clear what has set her off and instead of calming down quite quickly in time out she screams and physically shakes for over an hour. I have tried cuddling, distracting or just leaving her somewhere safe to calm down but nothing works. It just seems to have come out of the blue and she seems so cross but at the same time wants comfort. When I cuddle her (after she asks for cuddles) she still won't calm and then eventually starts to lash out at me.
Should I just leave her to calm down and hope it passes? This is third day in a row now, I am 6 months pregnant and exhausted by it!
