Hi! It's been a while! Really could do with some advice right now, or even just to be told 'it's not just you!'
So my lg is 2 and 7 months now, a lovely (!) age! She's so clever (right now sitting on my lap counting her fingers!) She talks all day long and loves learning new things.
Here's the problem though, she is throwing tantrums allll day long. She won't go to bed, preferring to headbang the stairgate and scream until she falls asleep on the landing. She wakes up crying and shouting 'NO' to anything suggested (cuddle?Come into mummy's bed? Drink? Left alone? Etc...) and we can't even get dressed without an hour long screaming fit.let alone trying to leave the house for anything....
i feel like I've lost my lovely little girl. It seems like everything is a battle for her to get her own way and she never does what she's told.
Oh, and she cries when adults in conversation laugh out loud. She's a real joy atm!
Help?! I don't know where ive gone wrong! I've tried ignoring the tantrums, talking it through, staying calm, showing anger, removing, distracting, giving choices....my main concern is the waking up crying and screaming. She used to wake up happily and greet me with smiles not that long ago.....what do i do?!
Anyone else have an adolescent 2 yr old?!
