Temper Tantrum Worthy-Video Post
The situations that warrant Sayle’s temper tantrums and the intensity of the tantrums depend on several variables; how bad he wanted to play with whatever object was removed from his hands/grasp, how fun the activity was that he was removed from, and the extent that he disagrees with a decision made for him. He has a tantrum if he isn’t ready to go to sleep as we start walking to his room at night. His tantrums range from mini to full blown if I don’t let him play in the water dish (I’m sure you guys caught the small tantrum in the video). But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will throw him into a tantrum faster than bringing him in the house if he has been playing outside and isn’t ready to come in.
Please see the enclosed video of one of Sayle’s tantrums. This particular tantrum ranks about a 7 out of 10 on the tantrum scale. Please keep in mind that we were playing outside for easily an hour and a half before we brought him in eat and take a bath.
What situations throw your toddler into a tantrum?
Sounds like Brady everytime he is told no! Love how you make it all dady’s fault…LOL!
Sorry you are going through this but SO glad I am not alone
Ohhhh my gosh!! Hunter has now started reaching for the door handle to go outside and when I tell him no,he THROWS his whole body on the ground…sometimes, on his belly kicking his feet with arms wailin or sometimes he will throw his head back onto the ground (keep in mind, we have hard wood so he then gets mad cuz he has hurt his head)
HA HA Kari!!! You know he is “so mean for making Sayle come inside!”
Cheryl-you are so not alone–and I’m glad to know that I am not alone! I will send Sayle over to your house for temper tantrum time next time; he and Beau can scream it out together!
Nichole-That sounds like quite a tantrum, that must be caught on video! Sayle hasn’t resorted to throwing himself on the floor, it is just the immediate scream so hard no noise comes out. If he does start throwing himself on the floor I will be posting that immediately!
Rylee’s little tantrums, when you pick him up to go elsewhere or to remove him from a situation, consists of his whole body going limp. His arms go straight in the air and he bows his back, which could make it very easy for him to slip right out of your grasp (so he could escape)… all the while he’s screaming bloody murder. LOL Maybe I need to get his mommy to video that sometime… to show Rylee one day!
HA HA! I think you guys should totally video tape it so when Rylee is older and says “I never acted that way” you can show him exactly how he acted with a touch of a button!
