Carson sure is lucky he is cute! This past week Carson has been having temper tantrums and full out melt downs. Over what? NOTHING. That’s the problem. I understand it’s his age and personality and taking his binky away doesn’t help but it’s very unsettling.
From what Ryan and I know and what I can research, we are to ignore him when he is having his “fits”. So far the last couple of days the ignoring him seems to be working. The tantrum last shorter. To give you an example of a tantrum: We are playing outside—he finds a stick and walnut shell— it is time to go inside—I take away stick and shell—MELTDOWN—for 20 minutes!
I keep my calm because I know if I get stressed it’s only going to make him worse. I been learning to control my patience better. In a way it’s a good learning experience for me.
I still love him to no end.
