Extreme tantrums

Ashley

My 2.5 yo daughter is having the HARDEST time with going down for naps and bedtime. Holy crap!

For about 2 weeks now she’s been RAGING like a psycho with full body tantrums accompanied with screams that satan himself would be scared of.

We prep her multiple times before hand for the transition and she always says “ok”. But when it comes to the actual event ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE!

I am running out of ideas to get her to calm TF down and calmly go to sleep! I’ve been doing stories, nightlight, sound machine, 1-2 min warnings before event happens, reminders before, but nothing is working.

She used to do well with rewards (you stay in bed without crying and you get a sticker) for awhile there but now she couldn’t care less about stickers or much for rewards.

Any suggestions? Will this ever end?! I feel so defeated because I’m a child therapist and a parent coach and I feel like I should have a handle on my own kid! 😩😔

TIA
