My DD is at a phase of shouting she wants something, and continuing to shout she wants it until she gets it (although we don't give it to her when she's doing this) but i mean she would should about it until she got it. When she doesnt get it, she screams then ends up hitting one of us. Soon as she does she looks at us like "shit" and cries. I have tried talking to her, she just continues to go "but i WANT it" so i try to ignore her, and she gets louder...
This is the only time shes difficult really, but the reasons are getting more ridiculous and more often and we are at a loose end on how to deal with them.
The other day I picked her up from childcare and we was getting in the car and she said she wanted to ask her childminder something. I said "shes gone now, ask her tomorrow darling". Well.. this started her off to the point she ran passed me, and back to their door, banging on it, crying screaming. I felt like a child abuser and she was trying to escape me. After this died down, after i put her in the car after about 10 minutes trying to encourage her to come with me, she cried the journey home and we had a cuddle. However when she went to bed i cried for an hour and i realise now i am not mentally equipped to deal with these. I need advice. Desperately lol.
She can do this over really mad things like "I want dad to get me out of bed" - dads at work ... and then she will find random things to say she wants.
I desperately dont want to be a shouty mum, I have anxiety as an adult from a shouty dad so i feel like a deer in the headlights not sure what to do !
