[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]0P people are jumping on you because of your toddler description. Colic and reflux suck – everyone agrees with that. But what you described in terms of a toddler is just a kid that you need to get to know. And yes I have a high strung, anxious toddler. He's actually no longer a toddler – he is now four and a delight. But what you were describing would never have worked with him. I needed to get to his level and understand what was upsetting him. Walking away would never work. Nothing you're describing is a particularly  uncommon situation – it is just getting to know your kid and what works for them.

I now have a second child who is an actual toddler – 21 months old. He is much less emotionally challenging than the first, but is just in that toddler hell stage. He responds better to being forcefully told what to do and what not to do - my first would have melted down but this one toes it on the chin better. Again, it depends on the kid. But nothing that you were describing of anything other than just being a toddler – everyone knows they are  assholes. Calling that behavior high needs is getting you jumped on.
