How do you ladies deal with toddlers bad behavior ? My daughters 2 next month and shes just getting worse. She does not hit or bite thankfully. But oh lord does she love to scream. If shes not satisfied she screams if i tell her no to something she shouldn't do she screams. Its gotten so bad that i don't even like taking her out anymore. For example i took her to walmart and she does not like sitting on the cart if not screaming. I put her down she just likes to run away ! If i grab her hand or get her she screams and everyone stares. Its really affecting me to the point i just want to cry. I have a newborn and her screams wake him up. I just dont know what to do. I tried time outs and it works for a bit but she just goes back at it. And she knows when were in public she can get away with anything. I tried spanking and she just takes it like a joke . please help. Ill try anything. I just feel like a bad mom
Thank you so much for the kind words :( i try to be gentle and tell her its wrong but its like she doesn't care. Its just so frustrating
You're not a bad mom. Toddlers are tough. I'm sorry I don't have much advise. My toddler pushes me too but what does seem to help is not yellling or spanking him. I get down on his level and just calmly explain I need him to behave. Most of the time it works. Also I try not to take him out when he is tired.
I'm in the same boat. It's rough.
