Spoilt brat

Anyone seem to raising a little spoilt so and so? Seriously where is this temper coming from? My little girl will have a melt down if she doesn’t get her way. I wouldn’t let her play with water today as she was trying to tip a cup of water into her play tea set and feed it to her babies 😵😵my goodness she was jumping up and down screaming and crying. I know it doesn’t help but a lot of the time I can’t deal with the tantrums and meltdown and I’m just like friggin have whatever you want just chill so I don’t know whether I’m endorsing this behaviour but I really don’t know what else to do. Is this a phase or am I doing this all wrong by allowing this behaviour? I can’t really reason with her at the moment as she just won’t understand and the tantrum will just carry on until I give in or I manage to distract her with something else (which is a mammoth task in itself!)

You need to be consistent. Part of it will be their age but it won’t help if you don’t stay consistent. If you can’t reason yet just try diverting and distracting. It is a phase but this behaviour will stick more than you want if you don't stay constant.

I would try and be a bit more stern and especially when you tell her not to do something my boy was like this a couple of months ago it’s taken a fair few tantrums but I think he’s starting to get the picture! ♥️ good luck xx

Thank u. I’ve just listened to this podcast @Ledia I shall give it a go but I don’t know whether I can just ignore her having a tantrum as her whining and crying proper stresses me out and I hate seeing her upset. But I’ll give it a go and see how it goes thank you x

I know this feeling 😵‍💫 but I just see it as something they get through, and I hate it even more in public! 🤣 sometimes you’ve got to give yourself a break too and while they’re in that mindset there’s not much you can do other than like you say read a book, but I think if they’ve done something deliberately naughty they need to be told, and get through it together ♥️ it’s so so hard! A girl in work is pregnant and she was like what’s it like being a mum and I just went it’s unbelievably difficult and stressful, there’s no right or wrong answer, and there’s always tomorrow if you feel like you’ve failed! But he makes me laugh sooo much and I’ve never felt proudness as I do now! ♥️ you’ll get through it and try different methods! Xx

So my son is awful for tantrums, especially where he won’t let you near him and just screams the place down, and I saw something which made me skeptical but my god it actually works for us 8/10 times. They say that you need to try and bring them back into the reality of what’s around them, and a great way to do this is to talk about nature. So if my son is doing this I’ll get him to look out the window to spot the moon and stars, feel the rain/wind, listen to a bird, spot a cat etc. sometimes it doesn’t work and he’ll just scream at me more, but so many tantrums have been stopped because of this now so may be worth a go 🤣 good luck!! Xx

Thank u Il give it a go x
