Anybody else!!??
DS is 23mo, and temper tantrums are in full swing. When I'm at home I tend to just ignore and let him cry it out (it seems any attention I give him makes him worse) not sure if this is the best route to take??
If I'm out in public I try to remove him from the situation which means picking him up, which results in him slapping me in the face!
I do use the naughty step, He quite happily sits there and then apologises after his 2mins, I actually think he enjoys the timeout!!??
Today ive taken him to toddler group, he threw lots of tantrums, hit another child, threw plastic plates at other children and generally whinged and wined the whole time we were there ect, I seem to be the only parent running round like
a headless chicken after my child :-(
This afternoon I had to get the bus to town, the whole 2 hours I have been out he has screamed his way around town, and on the bus on the way home (this was my final straw) he was having a bit of a paddy, i was teying to distract him looking at the blue, red, green cars and the lady sat next to me actually shouted at him, finger in his face and everything!!! Thank you but who the fuckertyfuck do you think you are!!
Sorry, rant over. Think everyday seems to be groundhog day at the moment, he is such a lovely little boy (when he isn't being naughty :-) )
Any advise? What am I doing wrong?
