I am almost about to lose my patience

Unfortunately, in my experience with not only my own children, but my nieces and the other children that I've taken care of as well, it is impossible to avoid tantrums while children are going through this stage in their lives. I tend to believe that the reason that they do this is because of the communication barrier that children are facing during this stage of their lives. If we encourage them to use their words all the time, I feel that we have to deal with far fewer tantrums than parents that don't encourage their children to use their words have to go through.

My son is 30 months and he is testing us. He is also finding things more frustrating because he doesn't really know what is and what isn't allowed, and he isn't mature enough to realize that other people have feelings too. We're slowly teaching him this, but it's hard when he deliberately does things he knows he shouldn't, just because he wants to. Then he cries when we won't let him. I am focusing on one rule at a time. I don't let other things slide, but I redirect him instead of correcting him except for with the one rule. That way he doesn't have to learn a lot of things at one time and constantly be feeling thwarted. A few months ago, it was not hitting, and he has now stopped hitting. Now we are working on stopping as soon as he hears us call his name instead of running away. And the not being able to do things, after awhile, become less of an issue as he either accepts that we have to help him, or gains the ability to do it.

Each child is different. When my son was that age, and he had a fit, I would tell him he was allowed to have a tantrum, but I do not have to listen to it. He had a place where he could go and sit and cry as much as he wanted,and then he would come back and be a real charmer. My daughter, on the other hand, would just scream louder and louder. She says that it was because she thought it was okay and that I could not hear her. Be consistent, do not give in, because as others have said, giving in only once can make it so much more difficult. It reinforces the behavior you do not want. I worked in Head Start which is a program for small children. We had a spot that we called the "rest stop". When a child was out of control, we would say something like, "it looks like you are out of control, you can go to rest stop while you get back in control" and it was a nice, comfy, cozy space with some soft toys and kids would go there and get calm and in control of their behaviors and then come out.

Oh my God! I think to raise children is the greatest, the most, the cardinal and the ultimate test on our personality . I have two daughters ages 5 year old and a 17 month. Tho Im not sure if what Im doing during their tantrum episodes is correct but what I only do is giving them their time. Just like my eldest, when she is not allowed to do the thing she like then she will go inside the room crying, shouting and even banging the door but I just let her. then after awhile she will come to me then say "Ok mommy Im sorry, friends..?" So I think I did the right strategy.?

I instill discipline as early as 2 years old. I do not allow my kids to be screaming and destroying things whenever they do not get what they want. It is hard really to control a toddler. But you must learn tricks to calm him down. Talk to him in a level that he will understand you.

Hi. I didn't have a kid yet but I experienced taking care of my niece and nephew when they were a child and no one left but me to take care of them. :) I teach them how to face the wall. If they did something bad, I let them face the wall for 5 minutes for first offense. This teaches them how to be patient in whatever things that they can't get. It works for them both. Their tantrums are not really bad but it has to be fixed. :D But it doesn't mean that I teach them all the discipline that they have now.

when my kids were at that stage, i would pour their liquids into a smaller container that was easier for them to pour out of. as for chores, i would tell them to pick up their toys and put their dirty clothes in the basket. when it was time to do laundry, they helped put the clothes from the basket into the washer. this helped cut out a lot of tantrums. if the tantrum was real bad, they were put into time out. 1 min for every age.

Hi sis, believe me they all go through that stage. My son is also 2 year old and 8 months.. and he also have those moments.. i guess it is that stage where they really have tantrums and have what they want plus it is the stage where our patience is tested.. i do lose patience too and i even cry sometimes but lately i just find ways to ignore it and well just pray sis, he will come to a stage where he will understand it too.. i really do not have the best advise because i know how hard it is.. just pray that you will have more patience.

We are going through it too. My youngest is 2 and a half and is the worst by far of my four kids. All I can say is take a deep breath, if you give in once it will cause the screaming even worse for quite a while you know the who give them an inch they'll take a mile saying? Talk to him calmly while he has his fits and just do what has to be done. We have a corner we send our little one to. We tell her to go to her corner until she calms down. There are times when she knows she is being bad and just goes in the corner on her own now. It does get better but bot until they are four or so and now we have a 13 year old and it's back!
