Is tantrums.
My daughter is 21m and she is smart and beautiful and hilarious. I am not a parent who believes that 'discussing emotions' works with an angry toddler. We use the simple and effective naughty chair and explanation but lately everything. And I mean everything - reduces her to a tantrum. A screaming thrashing choking tantrum. For example, an hour before dinner she asks for a biscuit. I say no and explain why and this erupted to her screaming in my face. I don't indulge this kind of crap and so I give her a warning that screaming in my face is not okay. She carried on and threw toys, which hit me, so I put her on the naughty chair for 30 seconds. In that time, she got louder and louder and louder and started whacking everything near her. All because she was told no. She got over it the moment she was off the chair but it's breaking me down to hear constant anger and crying and it's reducing me to tears myself. I am also third trimester but I can't do this :'(
Please help.
