The child wants to affirm his/her independence and will do so again 10 or so years later.<br>I find that not taking things personally -remembering that this is a normal stage of development- is crucial to the parent's wellbeing. And also, always keep in mind that you are the ADULT! Don't start behaving like a toddler yourself -which is easier said than done sometimes.! :)Marysehttp://www.bluamaryllis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-75585903161152619252011-02-03T13:20:15.000+00:002011-02-03T13:20:15.000+00:00Thanks very much for your reassuring comment Lucy!...Thanks very much for your reassuring comment Lucy! xMummy Zennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-64730247476028456552011-02-02T19:47:26.000+00:002011-02-02T19:47:26.000+00:00Excellent advice here :)I too found this stage rea...Excellent advice here :)<br><br>I too found this stage really challenging - I think all parents do. My son grew out of the major drama phase relatively quickly - although of course we still do have the odd meltdown!<br><br>It does get a bit easier as they get older as they're better able to explain what's upset them, and of course get better at handling their emotions.<br><br>Sounds to me like you're doing all the right things lovely xLucy Quickhttp://www.perform.org.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-19969026277562145732011-02-04T13:57:23.000+00:002011-02-04T13:57:23.000+00:00Good advice Maryse - thank you!Good advice Maryse - thank you!Mummy Zennoreply@blogger.com
