[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, sounds like you just lucked out with a really easy older kid who was a good sleeper, and you're unfamiliar with the extremely normal routine of kids not wanting to go to bed, not wanting to sleep once there, waking up and wanting to get out of bed, or only being willing to go to sleep if you are there. These are not bespoke, unusual parenting issues, they are pretty standard fare.

But more broadly regarding tantrums, you just get better at figuring out what your kid needs, and they get better at communicating , and it improves. Age 3 was hands down the most difficult early-childhood age for us, with the most random meltdowns and just kind of figuring out how to respond to DD in a way that would actually help her. But I'd also say that she's always been just kind of a tougher kid to parent -- more emotional, more reactive, more verbal, more attached, just... more than other kids. People are different, some kids demand more. I also find her super rewarding and fun, but also exhausting and requiring a lot of effort. [/quote]
