Struggling with this one a little.
Dd2 is 23 months and has just started to have huge tantrums. She throws herself on the floor and screams and kicks, she sounds like she is being murdered or something! I tend to just completely ignore her tantrums and stay calm.
However my Mother, who has been coming round to criticise help, is adement I should be telling dd to stop screaming and put her in time out until she stops. Tbh I think this is a rediculous idea as dd is too young to understand and would just keep running back to me.
I usually feel quite sure of what I am doing but my mother has got me really questioning myself to the point where I feel quite lost.
Would really appreciate any advice.
