Following- my almost 3 is 0 - meltdown 🤦🏼‍♀️ Over everything and anything
Ive got s three year old too and the first two things I think is, how'd her sleep been and what's she been eating?
Those terrible weeks are usually because she's out of sleep routine or not getting enough sleep for whatever reason, or we've been busy or just not as good with out eating and she's getting too much sugar and junk food into her.
Honestly both those things make a massive difference. And usually take a day or two of consistent change to get it out of her system
Is it really constant or is it just a lot? How’s sleep patterns? Do they have a cold or ear ache?
How long has this been going on for? Are there certain triggers?
All most every day the meltdowns are.She's lactose intolerant but we watch what she eats. Sleep lol don't know what that is, she's never been a good sleepper. I have a very big jumper she likes( gives me koala hugs an I wrap her in it, it seems to settle her down.
Maybe she's just going through a tough developmental time. Three year olds are also arsehole and it's not the terrible twos that are hard. It's three years old, hang in there. It will pass soon.

Omg just had a major meltdown about her pants. wears these all the time, this time it was to long in the legs for her. She has moved up a room in daycare a few weeks back, but she's never been like this when moving up rooms
I've a three year old. She has frequent, dramatic, long tantrums, but I don't know if I'd call them meltdowns. It's even worse today as she's overtired!
What is currently helping is I calmly say 'ok, let me know when you're done. I'm in the lounge if you need me' and I walk away. If she follows I just make sure I remove myself from her space any way I can or ignore her tanty & go about my business. Without an audience or reaction she runs her course & stops (can take a while). I don't make a big deal or act authoritatively but approach only once she's calm and try to make whatever it is we're doing HER choice by asking rather than telling & giving her some kind of option (like which pants to wear or 'are you ready to eat lunch now'?). If she starts howling again, I walk away, again. It's exhausting but is slowly helping her realise her tantys get her nowhere.
There was no mega meltdowns this morning, she slept with one of my jumpers near her
A threenager.!! It’s normal 3-4 was my hardest age with the kdis. I don’t know why they say terrible Twos.! Ignore her tantrums and don’t give in. Be strong and show her who is boss. else they will walk all over you at that age. I find the less of a reaction from you the better. They just keep pushing! Keep strong and firm. These little people wear us out sometimes, it’s so exhausting! she will snap out of it once she gets to kindy and school.
