Please can someone offer some advice or suggestions. I have a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy. I try to discipline them but not be too strict. I try to have fun with them but not be too lenient.
I'm sure they are not the worse kids but I don't understand their behaviour and don't know how to deal with it. They get upset over the smallest of things. My son called me rubbish this morning because I tickled his feet. Although we were laughing and playing at the time. He got up and walked off in a mood saying mummy is rubbish. My daughter is constantly saying she is scared to go to school. She's in year 2 now. She does have friends. And we see her playing well. But now my son is copying the same behaviour. And we have a big drama in the mornings.
They fight constantly everyday. Cry over everything. Even just things like it's time for a bath. Even though I've give previous reminders. I've given countdowns. Their emotions just seem to be very high.
I'm becoming increasingly tired and emotionally drained from it all. And don't want to deal with it. I don't know how to deal with it. I ask my parents and they just say "well you kids weren't like that so I don't know". My friends don't have kids or don't have kids of the same age. My partner is always too busy or stressed to have a conversation about it.
Sorry for the long post. Just need some help
