Toddler

There’s a reason for her. Remember that x It’s never just for “no reason” Would you throw yourself around and cry for no reason? No She’s just a baby trying to adjust to the big feelings she’s having If someone told you no, you’d throw a fit. She undestand more then she can talk atm. Talk to her. Calmly. Offer a hug when she’s upset and frustrated . When their chaos you need to be the calm x

My daughter did this, it’s their only way of communicating that something is upsetting them. I found just sitting with her and coaching her through it helped. Children need us to co-regulate and show how to manage these big feelings. Our generation often got shouted at or ignored. To her it’s a huge deal, she’s looking to you for emotional support and guidance often a cuddle helps soothe. I know it’s tiring and frustrating but it’ll pay off. You are her safe space after all and she’ll come to you for help and guidance later because of how you show up now. Just remember that meeting her with frustration can cause her to shut her feelings down and not express them. It’s an opportunity to bond closer despite the tiredness you may feel try seeing it as a privilege to build trust. Keep calm and breathe. Take a minute to regulate yourself and go be with your baby💗 good luck mama.

@Leah Okay, I get what you’re saying however whenever she’s having these tantrums I just let her be, I don’t tell her no I don’t tell her off unless it becomes too much.. I talk to her calmly and I cuddle her all the time whether she’s upset or not.. She does this all by herself, I can be in a different room and she’ll start throwing stuff around and get frustrated by herself.
