So this is completely our fault, lol, BUT I just had a question. If you felt like you were constantly having to “work around” your child, for example, not being able to do Walmart pickup with them in the car, because you know he/she is going to completely flip out wanting to get out and go in, would continue to do what you could to avoid meltdowns, or would you go ahead and do what you needed to do regardless and let them get over it? Our 4th child is almost 6. We got pretty lenient when he came around and we also started attempting gentle parenting when he was born. Another reason I think he got away with a lot is because he couldn’t gain weight. He didn’t hit 10lbs until he was 5 months old. We really weren’t sure if he was going to be okay or not. So in turn, he got away with murder and was spoiled a bit more. To be honest, mainly by my husband, but I’m at fault too. I started talking to my husband when our son turned 4 and I told him if we don’t go ahead and start getting a hold on him, we’re gonna have problems when he starts school. He started pre-k last year and now he is in kindergarten and so far so good, he doesn’t cause any trouble or get into any, but at home he will still pitch spoiled fits when he doesn’t get his way, even though we have buckled down a bit and started doing time outs and grounding from his games etc. I won’t stop at a gas station with him in the car (I pay at the pump but he will scream bloody murder wanting out to go look at candy.) I’m really tired of having to kind of work around his fits and try to avoid them. Would you just go ahead and do what you needed and teach him to get over it? That he won’t always get his way? Or would you just continue to tiptoe? Just to add these are not any sensory or spectrum meltdowns that we recognize, just him not getting his way and going nuts.
