Oh I've had the most terrible morning on the school run and would like some advice please on how to deal with the situation in the future
On the school run with my DS age 6, my DD, age 3, got herself into a tizz about not wanting to wear her coat and that her shoes were annoying her and it escalated into screaming at the top of her lungs (when I turned my back and "ignored" her and kept on walking), hitting me, sitting on the floor and refusing to move, running across the very busy main road - at which point I picked her up under my arm and carried her to the car with her arching her back and screaming, and by the time I got her to preschool, I was in tears. It doesn't help that she fell over last week and has a massive bruise across her cheek, so with everyone staring at us, I felt that everyone was thinking what an awful mother I am.
Any suggestions?
