How do I handle terrible 2s?
Everytime he wakes up, he screaming. not out of pain, its just screaming. I heard that giving them a little juice when they wake up helps but he sips it, throws it, then goes back to screaming. he doesnt want to be held, or even touched. if you even look at him he will lose his mind. if he hands me something and I do so much as grab it wrong, he will throw himself on the floor and scream till his face is red. I offer a snack, toys, I try to distract him but he is dead set on just screaming. it happens every few months and I dont know what to do at this point. ive taken showers with him, just sat in the bathroom and let the water run, take him outside, all kinds of stuff. if I pay any attention to him, he will lose it. the only thing that has worked is putting him in his bed and walking away. but even then, its a 50/50 chance that will work. I feel bad for leaving him alone. I dont want to teach him that he needs to isolate himself, I dont want him to think im not there for him by leaving him in his room when he gets like this, but its the only thing that has worked so far. I want to teach him a healthy relationship with his emotions but if leaving him alone in his room is the only thing that kind of works, what do I do?
