Mine is acting crazy when he wants something he can’t have. All the screaming, gesturing, sometimes biting and trying to hit me. I’m not proud of the last one, but hey, I'm trying my best to teach him not to do it, that he could hurt people. Physically.
Lately, I have found the best method to calm him. I just ask him how he feels at the moment. It’s magic. He just looks at me and stops. That feels so good! I’m not sure I’ll be able to use this method until he is out of this craziness (meaning terrible two). Maybe if I use it too much, it’ll be useless in a few weeks? Ah. I just don’t care now. I found it! And I’m glad, because my son is so stubborn he could sleep standing in his bed, resting his head against the rail if he doesn’t want to sleep (happened a few weeks ago)!
Happy day Mom, Dad or whoever you are!
Mom
