Frustrations

Life can be so frustrating at times for all us, but at the young age of 16 months it can be even more infuriating. My daughter is going through a difficult phase right now and she becomes frustrated so easily. She is so determined and independent and this leads to major meltdowns when she can't do something by herself.

Yesterday was a bad day for her, which turned into a bad day for me. She ate terribly and slept even worse. These factors lead to several major meltdowns, one of which was at a restaurant. I was completely mortified. She usually waits until we are home to self destruct.

I am trying to teach her to ask for help when she wants or needs something. We will see how this goes. Today is day one. Wish me luck!
