Sorry to hear you’re going through this. Hopefully you get the help you need sooner rather than later.
I haven’t experienced this but o guess just making sure no one gets hurt is the main priority.

It’s helpful to realise that all behaviour is communication.
Temper tantrums in toddlers and children are developmentally normal. These screaming, kicking, crying fits are a part of typical development and allow our children to communicate their unhappiness and/or frustration about an event or response, typically when they do not get their way or something that they want.
They generally begin to occur when children are between 12 and 15 months old, peak between 18 and 36 months, and continue until around age 4, according to the National Association of School Psychologists.
It’s hard for our little ones to verbalise their feelings and deal with big emotions

Sounds like my son when he was same age. I had to check all food, drinks and medication for artificial colouring and high sugar content. It was a nightmare having to read everything but great results in the end. Within 3 months he was a total different lovable and enjoyable little boy. Yes still had the odd tantrum but I was well able to cope. Give it a try and good luck.

It’s good you’re looking for professional help. In the meantime, maybe you could approach someone like a childcare educator for their suggestions.

Perhaps they are having a surge of emotions that they cannot verbalise/reason with. So like someone suggested, perhaps just put them in a safe place, let them get their frustrations out. You could also encourage her to draw about her feelings daily, it might be an outlet to prevent them from building up.

Put them somewhere safe. My oldest I’d put in a portacot so hes safe and cant hurt himself as much nor hurt anybody else. You can still be there but you are both safe.

No advice but we are the exact same with our nearly four year old. It’s terrifying and devastating

That’s hard to deal with. No help sorry – tantrums are so triggering so can only imagine that physical would be next level. Stay strong mum!

I know it can be pricey but maybe look at being referred to paeds in the private sector. We had to do it recently as the issue was pressing and the wait time under public is outrageous.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to reply.

When miss has thrown these tantrums it wasn’t about anything in particular. Things like, time to get dressed. It’s hardly ever about the same thing twice. We do isolate her and walk away, but that is when she starts doing things like banging walls, slamming doors etc.

Also, quite a number of times she’s thrown these tantrums in the morning. I’m a working mummabear so I don’t have the time to just wait it out. Luckily my boss understands when I’m late.

I’ve recently shuffled my work hours around to allow myself to watch her 1 day a week and managed to get her into a second kindy for a day a week. It actually seems to be having a positive change in her aggression so far.

Wish me luck everyone

I am so very sorry to hear you are going through this. I think you definitely need to see the Pead and get her assessed. My friend has a child who does this but he is autistic and can’t verbally speak. Is there any way you can ring the office of the Pead place to see if you can get seen any earlier? In the mean time, walk away from the situation when it is happening so she knows this behaviour will not get your attention but always staying close enough that you are close by and can see what she is doing. I assume you have sat with her, read her books about it and talked through how this behaviour is not acceptable?

I’d definitely see the pediatrician but in the mean time just try to stay calm and don’t give in to her. Ignore her while she is like this. If you can put her in time out or remove yourself out of sight of her while trying to keep an eye out. .

Occasionally, my son has been known to throw a bit of a tantrum and he is 9. I’ve found the best way to deal with it is to not give in to whatever has caused the tantrum and to put them in a safe place, like their bedroom if possible, until they have finished. That way they are in a quiet area on their own and can rage to their hearts content. After they have calmed down, you can then go in and talk to them.
