I am hoping someone may have a few suggestions on how to stop and or deal with my three year old's melt downs.
As all children have temper tantrums, that is how Miranda started with the odd fit when she would not get what she wanted or was over tiered ect... but they have escalated now to full on melt downs! She throws herself around, she has hurt herself doing this, she has also taken to biting, hitting and kicking.
I have attempted to just leave he be and just allowing her to have the fit that does not seem to help the situation she just gets more intense, I have attempted taking privileges away and or toys again she gets more intense. She never gets what she wants when she acts like this, and she says afterwards when we talk about it that she understands that this is naughty, but they keep happening and are getting worse.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!
