My 19mo hasn't had a daytime nap since she was about 14mo which has never been a problem. Until yesterday!
She was the crabbiest, stompy feet-iest, screamiest little girl you could imagine!! She kicked and screamed her way from 3pm to 6pm which is her usual bed time (if she goes any earlier she doesn't sleep all night . . . she gets up ready for the day at 4am!)
Then this morning she has got up still screamy and shouty. So I have put her upstairs to give us both time out before I got really fed up and shouted at her.
Do you think that this is the best tactic to employ in these situations when at home with her? Or should I try re-introducing a daytime nap?
& what do you do when your lo throws a tantrum whilst out and about? (I hate taking her anywhere because she screams her way to and from places and depending on where we're going, while we're out too)
Sorry, bit long and rambling but hoping someone can offer a little bit of advice, thanks for reading
