My toddlers mental and I don’t know what to do about it - can anyone make me feel seen?/not the only one
My daughter turned 2 yesterday.
The last month she’s gone through what feels like a personality change.
She fights every nap, not only is she fighting it she acts mental in her bed. Not crying but like just yelling NO NO No and turning over jumping and being crazy but if I don’t let her nap she’s feral she defiantly still needs her nap.
Then she can’t put her self to sleep anymore. She was always able to self settle from 6-7 months of age. Now she screeeeama for mumma or baba (dad) when we put her down and we have to sit with her.
When she doesn’t want something lie us to clean her face, change her, tell us no or grab something she says “is mine” to put away even if she isn’t using it she will absolutely go mental. Like head back, scream!! Not an ahhh scream but she will have an angry scream yelling what she wants.
She’s very smart, talks like. 4 year old. Everyone who meets her says both things.
1- woah she’s sooo smart and clever because you can have conversations with her .
(she’s also super interactive like she loves pretending to play doctors, tea and coffee with her toys hide and seek ect)
2- she’s a fire cracker.
when she’s angry it’s game over. It’s sooo hard not to get frustrated and snap.
she ends her tantrums fast they’re not meltdowns because she knows what she wants, they are not for no reason but she has a lot of them and she’s super bossy.
She has no fear!! Lately her new thing is to step of the slide instead of sitting on her bum or tummy. And she falls on her face and tries to do it again. Like wtf?
I get worried because I don’t remember my nieces or nephews having extremee temper tantrums. I also don’t remember them being so fearless.
I wonder if it’s signs of adhd or if she might be high on the spectrum.
When she’s mad her voice is the loudest ever, I think my neibours can hear her yelling/screaming. They must thing I’m torturing her.
The head back thing also worried me that she will hit on something hard one day.
Are some toddlers just crazier than others?
She gets away with things sometimes being a toddler but I don’t want her being those 4 year olds that scream down a shopping centre when they don’t get there way.
I don’t give into her either, but that doesn’t teach her.
She’s not behind in anything at all and is so smart so I don’t know if she’s on the spectrum but her emotions are so whack that I really question it.
She honestly starts giggling after a tantrum after she gets her way sometimes (not always but sometimes I just need too for sanity) It’s like how did you go from 0-100 in anger to laughing one second later?
Can anyone make me feel seen 😞😅
