Dd1 is 3 at the end of October. She's been relatively 'easy' behaviour wise she has time outs and apologises when she's in the wrong.
But recently she has been so hard to deal with. In the past 30 minutes she has tantrumed because dinner isn't on the table, because she wants me to turn the tv off, because he wants the tv on, because she doesn't want dinner because she wants me and because she doesn't want me.
It's like she is incapable of asking for anything she has to throw herself on the floor and scream. I don't reward her behaviour I wait for her to stop and tell her to ask properly which she does and if it's appropriate she gets the cuddle or tv or snack.
I must be doing something wrong. Is this normal? I'm in the early stages of pregnancy am stressed out and irritable and have had to walk upstairs and leave her to it on more than one occasion because I just can't cope with her tantrums and the way she hits out and screams at me.
What do I do?
