Toddler Tantrums

Tantrums...what's new? We've all done it and some of us still do!

I must admit I haven't found them as embarrassing as I thought I would. I honestly don't care about others opinions. Tantrums are a part of toddler life and I'd rather she got out all that frustration in one hit instead of holding it and being grumpy for hours.

I do try and ignore most of them. Amelia throws at least 4 tantrums a day. 2 of which are usually big ones. Right now the biggest is over having to come inside from the garden. Sometimes they get to the point where I sit her down on a chair and let her scream. Once she has everything out she'll move on.

I've read a few toddler tantrum tips like hug it out, talk it out. It may work for some but not for Amelia. Most of the time if she throws a HUGE fit I'll let her lie down on the floor and kick and scream it out. Most of the time I'll sit beside her and wait until she's finished. I don't want her to think there is something "wrong" with having a tantrum as such because right now that's how she's gets out her emotions.

I'll update when this stops working :)

MIA

Wow I really have been MIA!!

The time has flown! I've had NO time for blogging but I will try to get back into it. Spring so far has been super busy. Getting the back garden sorted for Amelia to play in. Planting flowers, cleaning up. All the usual!

I'm back in blog mode now
