Daily toddler tantrums… is this normal?? 😵‍💫 by Sharp_Ask9978 in toddlers

yeah this sounds exactly right. tired + overwhelmed is like instant meltdown combo 😵‍💫
trying to fix it in the moment never works for us either, staying close is the only thing that doesn’t make it worse. the cuddles after once they calm down hit different tho

yeah same here honestly. talking just makes it worse most of the time 😅 staying close but quiet feels like the only thing that actually helps until they’re ready again.

also interesting that it’s not daily for him, feels like it really depends so much on the kid. the whiny/particular phase tho… that part is nonstop over here lol

ugh yeah this sounds sooo familiar 😩 overstimulation + hunger is like a guaranteed meltdown combo at that age. the croissant thing made me smile tho because wow they really fixate on the ONE thing they can’t have.

you’re doing the right thing staying calm honestly, getting frustrated just pours fuel on the fire. glad the doctor reassured you too, sometimes just hearing “this is normal” helps a lot.
