Toddler Tantrums

Oh the awesome toddler tantrums. We deal with them often. I know at 2 he does not understand his emotions and is just trying to express himself but we also teach that it is not okay. However with that being said, some of the things that he throws tantrums over seriously makes me laugh. They are so outrageous and just over the silliest things.
  • We are potty training so he was naked, except his camo cowboy boots, he peed on them. Then got so mad that I had to take them off.
  • He will ask for something, such as a banana or yogurt, when I give it to him he freaks and doesn't want it. 
  • I was cleaning and wouldn't let him play with the windex. 
There are many more but those are just a few that happen often or recently. Also right now I haven't had my coffee so my thinker isn't working all the way! These seem to happen to closer to nap time obviously.That is when I know he is tired when he gets crazy for no reason.What are some of your stories?

    LOL, Mine does something similar , he will ask for something and ill go get it and go to hand it to him and he wont take them when I put it back he freaks out and wants it, then he finally takes it. Or when I say come here , he will say no then I say ok and he freaks out and wants me to say come here again so he can listen this time lol.

    Oh my gosh, I totally agree. This stage as a parent can be challenging, because sometimes it's so hard not to laugh when you should be reprimanding them. I often have to turn my face the other way so I can kind of laugh before I can address the situation at hand, lol. And yeah, what's the deal with your kid asking for something, getting it and then throwing a fit about it? Usually that means my kids are way over tired. :-)

      I do that all the time! I won't lie, I have a potty mouth, so the other day he yelled "Damnit!" All I could do was turn and laugh and then look back and say no! Oh way to go mom lol

    These are great. Age 2 was a breeze! A walk in the park for us and so much fun. My daughter just turned 3 in April and literally, her latest sassy/crazy/tantrum/defiance started ON HER BIRTHDAY! Welcome to the "threeteens" is what I think she was saying. Oh man, I need to stock up on patience-pants. Hang in there, Mama. Hopefully you're getting it out of the way now at age 2! -Misty

      I hope so! He had some terrible twos from 1 until 18 months and then was great and around his 2nd birthday in January it all came back with vengeance! Makes me feel bad sometimes too, like all I say is NO!

    I am right there with you. Only we just brought a newborn home to our 20 month old!. She is constantly asking for help and if I cannot figure out how to "help" her, the tears show up and the screaming begins! It feels like it will be one very long year.

      That is how far apart our children are too! My son actually is very good with her and I am so lucky! He also likes to play by himself a lot too! Which makes it super easy! You will get in a groove I promise! It takes about 2 months but it gets easier!

    Oh man. My little one is just about 10 months and she already throws them! I am in SUCH big trouble. This morning she stood up and was trying to open the cabinet on our big hutch and when I scooped her up to move her, you would have thought I was just the most terrible mom ever when she started crying and screaming. I guess I'm in for wicked toddler years! LOL!
