Daily scenario:
So my two year old asked for water, didn't drink any and threw the water bottle over the safety gate attached to the kitchen. Now he's screaming because he threw it over the gate and wants it back. So I give it back and he throws it again over the gate and screams for it back.
I told him that he's thrown it twice so he can't have it back. Now it's a full thrown tantrum that I'm ignoring, screaming and jumping up and down - he knows I'm ignoring him so full force shoves his younger sister (16 months old) into the unit and she hits her head.
I put him on time out, he comes off straight away and laughs. Then I put him back there 3/4 times and each time he just runs from time out...
This happens around 20 times a day - I'm exhausted ! Does anyone have some advice? Any alternatives to time out? What do I do to battle the "mummy isn't giving me any attention so I'll hurt my sister to get attention" ??
At my wits end x
