[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can find gentle language in a time that isn’t stressful- help him understand she is very young and doesn’t always understand how to do things or why it’s important. We forget little kids are still learning how to be here. Also that she’s an entire person with feelings, not just a responsibility. Parenting young children can be frustrating and difficult especially when we’re toggling between what we need to do/accomplish on a schedule and their actual processing speed.

It also might be helpful to leave more time for transitions, let them know in 5 minutes we’re getting dressed, would you like to pick out your clothes or should I,  and if your child finds it helpful to narrate what you’re doing and  what’s next. [/quote]

My husband has a tough time and gets overwhelmed. Adhd and anxiety. It translates to choppiness with kid. I agree physicality is not ok and to get parenting help. But it might be a learning curve thing too. [/quote]

Thanks for this - yes he definitely would describe himself as struggling with anxiety and possibly undiagnosed ADHD. And came from a home where he was yelled at frequently.

The physicality definitely scares me and I think he is scared too.

Since our last convo that was about the yelling specifically he has been reading about the impact of yelling on children and agrees he needs to stop. This was just a couple of days ago and I do see him being much more gentle, but it has only been a couple of days. I've talked with him about planning extra time to leave the house especially if it is a different than usual routine, and trying to get to her level, using little games to get her to do what we need.[/quote]
