When she is herself, she is the happiest, bubbly, sociable, and lovig little girl. but if there is tiredness, or a situation. like a power struggle, (sharing, tiredness etc) along with others she is a screaming wreck. Tonight she was dilerious at bed time. and she had had a little nap in the day which she doesnt do that often anymore. I never saw her this bad before... Since turning 2, onwards her emotional coping mechanisms have been worse in a way. We gentle parent, and im just worried she is releasig so many stress hormones to herself. I say to her when trying to calm her that she will have a very bad headache if carryying on... Out of my little three, she has the worst temper so far. I know they're all unique, I just think, what am i doing wrong? then i blame myself am i not giving enough attention? too much? anything shes eating? what we say? etc all these things. A lot of it can be over stimulation, tiredness, attention needs. I wish I knew.

Mine is like this when she's tired. Usually very happy and calm but as soon as she starts whining, or tantrumming or crying and carrying on I know she's feeling tired.

I usually chuck her into bed, or if it's too early into the bath, which distracts her, then an early night. It really is just "somebody's tired!" and then into bed quick as.

I think it's normal.

Ds is just three and the same. He is very up and down at the moment-definitely related to tiredness/hunger and potty training anxiety. Bedtime has been a hot point for a good few weeks. No advice I'm afraid-just solidarity!
