I don’t know what to do. My son is throwing tantrums that are so severe and can’t not be calmed down. He’s starting to do them in his sleep now. He actually is losing his voice from screaming so loud and so much. I’m at a loss. I feel like I’m failing as a parent because I can’t control him anymore and it’s made my husband not want anymore kids which is heartbreaking
My son is at this stage too, sometimes he even bangs his head on the floor or whatever surface. But like the previous lady said I ignore him and walk away and it ends the tantrum faster. Either way it is frustrating but we just have to remind ourselves this is only temporary. This stage will be over soon so I try to enjoy everything while it lasts 😊❤️
My almost three year old does this he actually did it during his pre school evaluation I was so embarrassed it’s hard an emotional to do anything as a family even going to target
My son does this to my daughter did it, if there is nothing wrong and he doesnt need anything i just walk away and ignore him. Kids want attention and sometimes any attention is good attention. When my son realizes hes not getting it from me he stops his tantrum. You can try it, it may take a while before he catches on just be patient. Hang in there mama.
I started listening to the soul of discipline - if you have a chance so far it’s really good and I highly recommend it - even in the couple of days I’ve started to try some things it suggests I’ve gotten good responses from my 2 year old. I haven’t gotten all the way through but At this point it says that when small children act out they are usually pinging, meaning they feel lost/not grounded they are incapable of handling the overwhelming feelings that are happening. I would suggest seeing if there are certain things you can pin point that set him off and then use those moments to bring him back and make him feel safe with kind, but firm, affirmation of what specifically you want to happen or how he should behave, also I would consider your own actions, is he trying to get your undivided attention? I listened to a really good segment about how us using our phone all the time is causing our children first to act out but then second to disconnect from us bc they do not feel they have our attention and they do not feel safe.
