I just wanted to write a message to everyone that ever feels like they aren’t doing a good job. To everyone that posts in here and gets advice that they don’t agree with and then people bash them.

A few months ago I asked for advice for my toddler who was throwing tantrums for literally every single thing. Everyone told me I should spank (even though I specifically said we don’t spank) that I need to discipline my child for her outbursts. However my instinct told me not to get angry and to try and listen and ignore these tantrums. I wanted useful advice and possibly just some solidarity that this was normal and would pass.

Well here we are approaching 2yo and my daughter is a different child. Doesn’t throw tantrums, is generally agreeable to most things. I think a lot of the reason for her outbursts were due to her not being able to effectively communicate her wants or needs. Now that she talks more and can tell me what’s going on she has less outbursts.

So to all you mothers who’s toddlers aren’t talking much yet and are throwing tantrums over everything, they might just be frustrated. I’m here to tell you that this will pass and things will get better. Stick with your gut you’re doing great!!!!
