I know there have been a few post about this lately ~'The Flopper' and I've had to deal with a toddler who had to be dressed and ready to go for pick up as she would run away, hit her parents and they didn't do anything to correct her.
My question is why do you think this is happening with this little guy 16 months~
It was like a switch happened and he started over reacting and whining ...my thoughts are welcome to the upcoming world of the terrible twos!
Now at pick up he has always run around, laughing with my own girls and the other kids and his Mom and I chat while the kids are running around. Now he gets right bent at everything when Mom is here. EG- last night he was climbing up the slide instead of using the steps. When I went to tell him we go down the slide and asked for his hand to show him the stairs..like I always do, he had a screaming fit and threw himself down and ran to Mom who had her arms out. He is also tugging at her top as she is still nursing him and freaking out that he can't have any. Not letting her put his jacket or shoes on and just like above..doing 'the Flopper' and even hurt himself doing it. It DRIVES me and so I've made changes with Mom that moving forward he will be dressed for pick up.
I think he is looking for Mom's attention as we are talking and he hasn't seen her all day and wants her to cuddle...any other thoughts as it was quite seriously over the weekend the change happened?
