[quote=Anonymous]Career nanny. That could just be a tantrum and maybe your oldest was more mild-tempered. It could also be that this is a sensory meltdown issue (google sensory seeking/sensory avoidant). This doesn’t mean your kid has a diagnosis of some kind (not necessarily at least), but basically just that some kids are more sensitive and high strung. I have seen tantrums like this with many kids over the years, a few are now ADHD or other diagnosis, but most are just sensitive, intelligent, high-octane people. My best advice for right now is to focus on the basics, bc if you are trying to manage behavior but your kid is not getting their underlying needs met, you are going to fail with any approach to the behavior itself. So make sure your kid is getting lots of high-quality sleep, healthy meals and snacks at age-appropriate intervals, and a good balance of active/physical play and calmer play. [/quote]
