[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a teenager now and hated the toddler preschooler phases. Hated. From my own experience and observing friends with similarly aged children, if you are consistent with discipline, things get better around 4. If you aren’t consistent, things don’t really get better until you do and it’s way harder to get consistent the longer you wait. [/quote] OP here. I am really prioritizing consistent boundaries and discipline and sometimes I feel like that’s all I do. Would it be easier in the moment to give in to the whines and/or tantrum? Absolutely, but then I think about how much harder that would make an already difficult situation. There’s so little joy in this phase, so I can only hope it will eventually improve before I walk into the ocean, Awakening style.[/quote] Are you depressed? Do you work? [/quote]
