Son has never been one for tantrums really but the last few months he has suddenly taken to them!
So much so he's screamed at the top of his lungs for the past hour because he lost his action man toy after hitting me as he snapped his pencil in half ( in anger as he wouldn't turn the Volume down on his iPad after being asked 3 times so that was taken away )
He has a warning earlier after hitting me for not going to collect his water bottle from upstairs for him as I was washing up and he has legs and he was told if there is any more violence his new action man figure he got yesterday would go.
He banged on the Windows, threw things, opened the front door and screamed so all the neighbours taking their rubbish out heard him before finally accepting I wasn't going to back down and having his story and going to sleep.
I try massively to positively parent so now feel terrible about taking the bloody figure away but I am also aware he needs to know he can't lash out.
I've lost count of the times I've said recently " nobody is allowed to hit anyone blah blah blah "
Isn't this age just a bit old for the START of tantrums??
