Why does my DD have a tantrum at approx 8.40am every day

[PeppermintPatty]

give or take 10 mins

She wakes up at 7am so not tiredness, she's only recently finished her breakfast so not hunger......

It usually starts with something really trivial - for instance today she was sat on my knee and we were reading books. I put on down so I could get on with tidying up the breakfast stuff and she has a complete melt down that went on for 10 minutes.

What is this all about?

Could it be she's just not a morning person...?

Well, I think you answered your own question. She throws a tantrum when you leave her on her own. She wants all of your attention and by throwing a fit, she gets it.

How old is she?

Yes I understand that - but normally she would winge for a bit but be easily distracted with a toy...

But at 8.40ish in the morning it REALLY upsets her and she can't be consoled easily...and it always ends up in a massive screaming/crying fir. Just wondered why she gets so upset at thsi time more than any others....

Sounds to me like she might just be more tired at this time - what are her sleep patterns like?
