Help!
I love my child dearly, but lately he drives us crazy. He screams if the attention is not directly towards him, if he is not being fed fast enough, if he is over tired etc. It was such a long weekend, I was glad to be back to work. I want to enjoy my child, not be excited when he goes to bed.i feel like a horrible mom. Please help!
Trust me- we all have days like this. I often feel so relieved and relaxed that I survived another day once all the kids are in bed. I would say about the screaming when he is not getting attention two ideas to try:
1. ignore it or put him in his bed to scream where you can't hear him.
2. if he is old enough try reverse psychology and tell him he threw a better tantrum last time and that you aren't impressed at all. Kids act out to see how we will act and respond to their behavior. If you ignore it or encourage it it will quickly go away because he will realize that he isn't going to get a reaction out of you.
