[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a child psychologist. What you need to understand is that toddlers are bat$hit crazy. My own child once had a huge toddler meltdown because he wanted me to read him a book, except, he didn't want me to read him a book. I stupidly spent like 25 minutes trying to figure out how to read a book without reading a book before I just put him in the crib and walked out. The screaming was like something out of the exorcist. Then he fell asleep and was, of course, totally fine the next day.

Limiting the books in the basket is a good idea. Most likely he is just really tired and his toddler brain is being extra special because of it. Even if you do everything "right" he might still get upset. If that continues, think about whether he's getting enough sleep and if an earlier bedtime might be in order.[/quote]

I love this answer.

As the mom to two young kids, one in kindergarten and the other in full-on age 3, I can absolutely confirm that toddlers and preschool age kids are bat$hit crazy. Don't expect this to end anytime soon. More likely than not, it will get worse before it gets better.

And if you need a laugh, go online and look at some of the compilations of young kids throwing full-on meltdowns over stuff like, it's raining, or their parents won't let them ride on the roof of the car. Some of them are hilarious!
