Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

What sets your DC off?

If I grab my purse he knows that means I am leaving, and he automatically has a mini-fit and tries to follow me with big ol' tears in his eyes. : (?

Even if I pick up my purse to move it to the closet, he still thinks I'm leaving and will freak out.

Re: What sets your DC off?

  • DD has a munchkin snack cup and if she sees it she flips out because she wants it. Even if nothing is in it and I am just trying to wash it or if I fill it and put it in the diaper bag before we go out. God help you if you try to take it away from her!

  • Last night it was the tylenol bottle. I tried to take it away after I gave it to her and she freaked.

  • For some reason DD is really bothered when I'm at the kitchen sink or stove, I guess she realizes I'm going to be preoccupied and not able to pay attention to her/pick her up so she comes over to me, throws her head back, and starts whining/crying, even if she has been happily playing by herself just moments before. 

    And also when we're playing outside and I try to bring her back inside before she's 'done' she'll throw herself down and cry big alligator tears!!

  • Having to come inside after playing or going outside to leave and seeing his Cozy Coupe then having to get in the actual car.

  • Ohio- where did you get the tshirt on your kid?  I need 2 :)

    I can usually redirect the boys if they start playing w/ something they're not suppose to but there are holy tantrums if I take away my car keys from them (which I do often b/d they've opend the doors while the car was parked in the garage).

  • The vacuum.  From the Dyson to the hand held he bawls when he just sees them.

    My sister bought it in the Carolinas. Not sure where she got it, unfortunately. I think it fits well for almost any toddler. ; )?

  • Being told "no" or being accused of anything -- ie. "what do you have in your mouth?!".  he feels accused and starts bawling. 

    He also doesn't like being left alone anywhere in the house.  He likes to do everything right next to one of us.

  • Not letting him into the pantry or the fridge...freak out city

    Coming in from outside

    Diaper changes

  • Shutting the door- like if I have to go to the bathroom and I shut the door on him, or if I go into my bedroom and shut the door. And when we won't let him have our cups.
  • Not being able to go outside. We are in Arizona, and it is still 100+ degrees during the day, so when she grabs her shoes and runs to the door only to be told that we can't go outside ... it's all over but the screaming.

    Unfortunately, this happens every single day. Ugh. We do take her out at 6 every night, but this kid can't wait that long!

    Ah, yes. This too. ?

  • Two things:  When I go on the computer he furiously tries to get at the mouse and throws a fit I won't give it to him.  This is why I can only go on the computer when he naps now. 

    The second is he throws a fit when I'm eating.  I don't know why, he just does not like me to eat.  Maybe it's his way of getting me to lose weight, lol.

  • Recently, if he can't drink what we're drinking out of a cup.  Having a cup of coffee is an absolute nightmare, he throws a shrieking fit because he can't have any. 

     

  • When I go into the bathroom and shut the door.  If I leave the door open he's fine.  If I shut the door, he comes crying down the hall.  He'll stabd outside the door crying until I open the door.

  • The *only* thing so far to start a mini tantrum is when I'm holding her hands to practice walking and I stop and let her go to sit or whatever she kicks her legs around and screams.  Its kind of funny!

  • The kitchen is our battle field.  We usually won't pick her up in the kitchen because we're either doing something that requires both hands or doing something dangerous, like cooking.  She, therefore, has a huge fit whenever we're cooking or cleaning, trying to get us to hold her.
  • 2 big ones: me picking up my purse or putting my sunglasses on - she knows i'm going somewhere.

    and closing doors. she isn't allowed to play on the floor in our room (we moved anything that was unsafe in there) or the bathroom (toilet bowl fishing) and when i close those doors she throws herself on the floor right there and complains.

  • Pretty much any time we take her away from or stop her from doing something she wants, or wants to do. Yeep, that covers all of it :)
