Tantrum Three's
Saturday, May 24, 2008
My son is almost 3. Which means... A: we've made it out of the terrible twos (which really were not terrible at all)
but
B: are entering what can be the tantrum threes!
Are tantrums a learned trait or another emotional phase??
I ask this because I think my lil man could be picking up tantrum habits from his playmate. He actually imitates the exact "grunt" that his friend does when he has his bad fits and I can't stand it! lol! I'm looking for suggestions to nip this in the budd before it gets worse. I can handle a tantrum, what I can't handle is how to let my son know that what his friend does is not allowed for him to do...without insulting his friend. Geez, last thing I need is my son to go over his friend's house saying, "my mommy says I can't flip out like you do because..." !!! Let me know what you think, please don't let me talk to myself again. :)
