Tame toddler’s tantrum

I already ran out of ideas how to calm down my son’s regular tantrum. I had tried both hard and soft approaches but it failed. He can easily throw tantrum (lie down on the floor crying non-stop, kick leg) when things didn’t get into his way. His temper has gotten worse when he is under the care of my PIL. They pampered him so much so that the sky is the limit for him. They will fulfill every single demand from him. He is now the King of the house.

I’ll be the Devil Advocate which made him felt I’m a BAD mom. I beat him till my palms turned red and he didn’t change.

I just read about an article teaching parents how to bond with their children. She told a story of a child who was beaten by her mom since young age suddenly retaliated at age 12. She advised parents to shower children with love especially for their first three years.

I must start to breath-in and breath-out more regularly to increase my tolerance level. :)
