I’m just wondering if anyone has been through similar, we sailed through 2 with no tantrum/frustration/upset issues really, obviously we had some challenges but I found them really easy compared to what people told me would happen.
Toddler turned 3 a few weeks ago and I’d say over the last 2 months I’ve noticed a definite change in his reaction when things don’t go to his plan, he seems to get much more upset much more quickly and actually cries tears at times over small inconveniences to him (eg brushing teeth) that previously he’d just have moan a bit about.
When things are going ‘to plan’, he’s absolutely fine, but when we suggest or do something he doesn’t want to do it’s then that his reactions have just really intensified. He speaks really well so he can communicate what he doesn’t want and why, I thought this could’ve been why we seemed to skim the bulk load of the ‘difficulties’ people had told me about 2yo, but maybe it was just luck? He did drop his nap around the same time as this sort of slowly started so it could be that he’s adjusting to overall less sleep.
Did anyone else notice anything like this around 3yo?
