How do you deal with them? DD is 2 and a half and has never really had any tantrums before... until now.
Suddenly she is getting into hysterical tantrum-y fits about her sleeves not being the same length.
One day I casually commented 'oh we forgot to roll your left sleeve down after washing your hands, let's make them the same length again', and she seems to be thinking about it all the time now for some reason.
If she's tired, she gets really stressed about it and ends up in such a state, I don't know what to do! It's totally out of character for her to be honest.
Anyone been through anything similar? Should I be ignoring it when she mentions it or trying to explain they are actually perfectly alright? I can't fix her sleeves as she keeps asking me to, because there's nothing wrong with them, and I can't let her go about with no sleeves; it is far too cold!
