I nanny for a little boy who will be 2 next month!
His parents speak Urdu, but I am English. He understands no Urdu and is slowly picking up English! I've been with him since November. He understands things like "sit down" "shoes", but doesn't understand more complex things like "are you hungry?"
Ok, that's where we're at!
The problem is now he's having massive tantrums, they last up t an hour, it'll be over something as simple as leaving the park and during them, there's no touching him, no way to cuddle him because he just won't let it happen!
I'm out of ideas, I've tried singing to soothe him as he usually likes this, but he screams louder and more intensely! I've tried playing with the other boy, but he doesn't come to join in. I've tried cuddling him, but he screams louder and tries to get out of it!
I need help, how can I get him to calm down, he doesn't understand anything I say in respect to calming down and these tantrums are so bad! I couldn't get him off the grass in the park today through screaming so just sat by his side and waited it out (35 minutes was the length of this one)
Please... any ideas!!
