terrible twos

[laceyrene_13]

My daughter will be 2 in december. She has been throwing fits for a couple months now. She doesn't do it often but when She does they last for about a half hour and she will scream bloody murder til she can't breathe. She threw a fit tonight bc I wouldn't go in the living room with her cause I was still eating supper. She throws fits if I don't pick her up...I'm also 26 weeks pregnant and can't hold her constantly. How do you handle tantrums when you can't even get her to calm down to talk? I've tried but her in time out in her pack n play in a different room but she gets out of it.

We've been disciplining our daughter since day one. Not physical discipline. But manners, social, and behavioral discipline. She knows that everything is not all about her . & that crying gets her nothing or any kind of reaction except to her bedroom. She is about to be 2 & has never thrown a fit or tantrum since she was freshly 1 years old. & I'm sure it's because we started disciplining her very early so she never got a chance to get use to that. But it's never too late. When your daughter throws fits take her straight to her room. She doesn't need to be in front of you to have a drama episode. She can do that anywhere, & the perfect place is alone in her room. Let her stay in there until she calms down. Then go in there & explain why you brought her there. Let her know that each time she throws tantrums that is where she'll end up. Dont feed into them. Don't try to give her what she wants just to stop her from screaming. She is the child. You are the adult. She doesn't run anything. Children can be selfish sometimes and don't realize we get tired, we're pregnant, we're stressed, & rundown. So they will try to make every moment about them. & if you grant them that they will get use to it & get angry the second they don't get their way.

Ignore it-which is easier said than done-but if she sees she gets a reaction-response from you she's gonna keep doing it-the more you stands firm and don't budge no matter how she screams-the tantrums will get shorter and shorter-but don't forget-3s are worse than the terrible 2s-;) she's pushing as far as she can-just stay strong-if she won't stay in one spot than walk away from her even if she follows you-explain how she is acting is not acceptable and once she can stop than you can talk about it until then you're not-she'll start catching on that throwing a fit is not a way to get what she wants

My son turned to in July and he barely started to throw his fits and every time he does it I don't pay attention I let him have his tantrum and after he's done I talk to him and put him in time out its working for me just don't stress to much on it

Sometimes not paying any attention to them helps. That way she knows that you won't listen or help her when she is throwing a fit! Don't try and stress yourself out when she is doing that cause she sees it and she knows she is getting to you
