tantrums and screeching

[Jaynee]

Dd 2 and4 months. Some days really good behaviour other days proper tantrums on the floor in public if I don't allow her to do sthing she wants. Bit embarrasing in the street, the other day I had to carry her by her arms and fling her in the car in order to move her (also heavily pregnant!) what do I do? Also has started loud screaming/screeching thinking its funny at the dinner table/ other people's houses/ in church etc. Have tried naughty step and explaining but she likes the naughty step!!

I know it is awfully embarassing but if she latches on to your mortification she will do it all the more (one of my twins was a pro at this). In the end I learnt to walk away, as soon as they realise that they don't get attention it breaks the cycle. Of course you have to make sure that she is safe but don't react as much as possible. Also really praising her when she is good can assist too. HTH and good luck with your pregnancy
