I think the reason why I was so afraid to try for another child sooner was because of the tantrums. <br /><br />I'd tell hubby that on some days, I wasn't even sure I wanted the one we have.

So here come the tantrums. Sorry but ignoring it only puts a temp bandaid on the situation. Been there done that! I say try the time-outs. Until you can tell her to use her "words" to get through the issue some form of discipline must happen. Hell....Jalen is 15 and he throws teenage tantrums, Malik displays the pre-teen version and Kalil throws his, but I'm the baby ones=) <br /><br />Love you! <br /><br />*I'm w Neil, what the heck go for another one! <br /><br />ALOVEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-82737442471354486172009-06-30T21:58:20.148-04:002009-06-30T21:58:20.148-04:00Good to read.

One thing I do that seems to ease things is talk about what we're going to do next and how we are going to act about it 5 or maybe 10 minutes before we actually do it. You don't think they can understand such a thing, but they do. ANd for that 5 or 10 minutes I remind them several times of how this is going to go down. And it works most of the time. And when they DO comply, I tell them how unbelievably awesome they are for "listening to mama." And when they dont, well I'm bigger than they are and they get picked up and carried out, carrried in, whatever the required action would have been. No drama from me. <br /><br />If it's any consolation, my daughter has been much better at this practice than my son. So let's hope it's because girls are a little more responsive to reason. ;-)MereCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443158111826174633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-69265700605442563532009-06-30T18:17:43.454-04:002009-06-30T18:17:43.454-04:00Two years old is hard!

I have put him in a "time out" corner for a minute or two (he HATES it--and I pretty much stand there with him, but with his nose to the corner) and now when he is freaking out, I can say, do you need a time-out? And it gets his attention enough to make him settle for a minute--long enough for me to distract him with something-ANYTHING-else. Two is not pretty a lot of the time.
