:( Yet another problem with my 2 yo mindee!!
It has got to the point now where i dont know whether i can childmind at all if this is how it is constantly going to be!!
The mindee I have is one of three siblings....he's the middle aged one!! It has come to the point where anything i ask him to do starts a horrific tantrum!!
We have tidy up time....tantrum which consists of screaming and shouting at me and throwing himself on the floor.
Dinnertime....tantrum....wont eat anything other than biscuits or yoghurt!! If its not that its tantrum time!!
Activities....anything i set up he doesnt want to play with he points to the tv and asks for cbeebies...when i dont turn it on....tantrum time
Free play.....i get out a few different types of toys...again all he wants is the tv so uses the toys as missiles and when we talk about why he cant do that....tantrum time!!!
I have tried everything.......talking to him...thinking time....toyus put away....ignoring....al of which causes another tantrum!!!
I really need someones help as I am scared to take on any more mindees as i just dont think i could cope!!
I just dont know what he is allowed to do at home to be like this!!! To mkae matters worse his mum is on holiday now for two weeks leaving his nana to pick up and drop off and i dont really want to approach her about it!!
Help :(
