Oh my! My child has been awful these last few weeks. Just in the afternoon. Sometimes he has a struggle going down for his afternoon nap. He sooo needs it but fights it. Especially when I am caring for other kids. When he wakes he is a nightmare. Screaming at the top of his lungs. He actually started his day out today from the moment he woke up this morning screaming. I can understand he may be in pain from these molars coming in but holy!!
I don't understand how it's just the afternoon that he is like this. From 2 until supper he is soo unhappy. I've tried everything. Advil, Tylenol, teethers, cold cloths, distraction, food, water...what else can a girl do? I feel terrible about it and don't know how to fix it.
He was actually mad and threw somewhat of a tantrum. All I did was tell him to stop and he was angry, tried hitting the blanket I had in front of me and he kind of stamps his feet. He tries to fling things or knock them off the table or something out of frustration.
It's absolutely exhausting and draining behaviour!
