Looking for some advice on coping with my 3 year olds tantrums. She is having usually a couple of meltdowns a day and they often go on for 40 minutes or longer. I'm honestly at my wits end and sometimes end up in tears myself. I try to ignore the behaviour and carry on as normal but she can't seem to calm down by herself and she ends up hanging off my clothes or legs or screaming in my ears while I try to calm her down. I've tried putting her in a cool down spot but she won't stay put and I end up having to half lift half drag her back there when she continues to follow me around screaming. I also have an 8 month old baby who hates the noise and also needs my attention. We've had a LOT of big changes lately (moved house, started preschool etc) so I know these tantrums are inevitable and probably just a phase but I need to find a way to survive them!
Thanks so much!
