My 2yo tantrums are absolutely killing me and I don’t know if her behaviour is normal, if it will pass or if I should be doing something?
For context- she does throw ‘normal’ tantrums about not wanting her dinner or wanting a different colour cup etc, all manageable and pretty mild.
But recently she has started to throw tantrums where it’s like she’s not even in responding to me. She will scream or whimper constantly, ignoring all my questions, bribes, anything like I’m not even in the room. As soon as I leave the room she screams for me to come back but when I do she carries on. These can last up to an hour and don’t seem to be triggered by anything specific. She also wakes in the night doing it. She gets in my bed during the night (another story of something else I’m trying to fix) but usually goes straight back to sleep until morning. The last couple of weeks she has either been crying in her sleep intermittently or waking up throwing these tantrums for no reason. Initially I wondered if these were night terrors but I don’t think they are because if I ask her in the morning she can remember crying.
Im just at my wits end with it, when it happens I have to let it ride out whilst making sure she’s safe because she’ll hit her head and all sorts but nothing stops it, and like I’ve said this can last for an hour.
Do I need to see someone is it something she’ll grow out of?
