But sometimes,...Katie, I feel your pain girlfriend. But sometimes, in some way I think Ryan thinks he might be getting his way. Maybe when you are out at a resturant, or at a friends house, he DOESN'T want to be there so he thinks.."HMMM, if I pull a tantrum, we'll get to leave and go where I want to go." (more than likely home). But maybe you should start some kind of reward system for him. He's almost 2 so he just know something good might come out of him being good. Try a sticker chart. Explain to him BEFORE you go out somewhere that IF he's good, he'll get a sticker on his chart. If he does pull a tantrum, remind him of the stickers. Reward him with something he likes after 3, then maybe 4, then 5 until you can just eliminate it all together. <br /><br />And also maybe try a parenting class. NO, it's not a terrible thing, doesn't mean you're a horrible mother...not at all. I took a pareting class just for the heck of it...let me tell you, I've learned to be so much more patient and they teach you a lot of things, different techniques for things you would never think of. My course was 12 weeks so it was a little long but well worth it!!<br /><br />Hope this helps!! love you guys!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756311340423688338noreply@blogger.com
