Hello everyone! I don't know anymore how to deal with my son's terrible behavior. He categorically refuses to do anything. He can't manage to go out, eat, or take care of himself. He claims he is little and therefore I should feed him. If I don't feed him, a two-hour tantrum is guaranteed. Almost anything I ask him to do immediately results in a tantrum. He used to sleep during walks, but now he doesn't want to go outside at all. If we do go out, within five minutes he starts saying, "Walking is too long, I don't want to, let's go home." He can't ask for anything without starting to scream right away. He wasn't like this before. And my husband and I never spoiled him; we always explained everything calmly. Now he doesn't even want to eat; he barely eats anything at all. Has anyone else gone through this phase? When will it end, and what comes next? ??

Hello! I understand that this might be very difficult for you. Children can periodically go through phases where they struggle to cope with their own emotions and desires. It's important to remember that this is a temporary phenomenon and that things will improve over time. Perhaps your son is just experiencing new feelings and emotions, and he finds it difficult to cope with them. Try to support him, hug him, soothe him, and explain that such behavior is not acceptable. Try to establish clear rules and boundaries for him so that he understands what is allowed and what is not. You shouldn't worry that this behavior will last forever. As they age, children usually grow out of such phases and begin to better control their emotions. The main thing is to remain patient and support your son during this difficult period. Everything will work out, and you will definitely be able to handle this situation! Good luck! ??

Welcome to the 3-year crisis :) Everyone experiences it differently; for us, it lasted about half a year. Maybe more. But even now, there are tantrums without reason, mostly when stressed or lacking sleep. I wish you immense patience.

Не идти на поводу, не подкреплять манипуляции, объяснять эмоции, почему он злится, почему не может это получить сиюминутно. Это кризис взросления, они понимают, что уже не малыши, что повзрослели, но не могут пока быть полностью самостоятельными, этап отделения от мамы. Учить понимать свои эмоции и принимать правила поведения взрослых.
