Every morning when my daughter gets up she calls for her daddy who is getting ready for work. When I go in she yells at me, “go away mommy, I hate you, I don’t want you, etc.” I say “wow it seems like you are really disappointed that daddy isn’t available and that’s hard.”
She says “don’t talk to me, I don’t want to hear your voice or anything you say.”
Sometimes she goes as far as slamming the door on me. It’s a horrible way to start the morning.
Why is she doing this and how can we stop it and have a more pleasant morning?
Maybe she will phase out of it??
Help! Our toddler spits, hits and calls people "stupid"!
Help! Our toddler is doing all normal toddler things but it’s been hard on us. He’s been spitting and hitting (both for fun and when he’s upset). He also calls people stupid when he's angry and it drives me coconuts. His tantrums last closer to 15 min and he stays stuck in a loop. And it doesn't help that his older sister jumps in and tries to parent him.
