Does anyone else sometimes not know what their child is having a tantrum about?
Cos I can be stumped about what my ds (2.5) is screaming for.
Had a tantrumtastic evening tonight before finally getting him to sleep. He was really tired, hence being in bed by 6.30pm but even so - three in a row?
The first one I got - we had been shopping and he was holding the receipt. He threw it up and the wind took it away. Cue hysterical screaming and jumping into the air to try to fly (as far as I could make out) and get it back.
The next couple were just unidentifiable, one involved screaming "window" for 15 mins - er,why son? and the other was just as random.
Is it me - am I not tuning into his needs or is it normal behaviour? He's still not very verbal, though he has become much more so over the past couple of weeks, maybe frustation at me not understanding.
Got to admit, even though he is usually lovely and I am very grateful, I am finding this bit quite hard.....
