We usually go to the park everyday from 10ish to noon . Today was not different , the park we use had a group meeting of some sort and there was soo many kids we walked abit further to a smaller , preschool is park . Everyone loved it and was having a good time , I have a 17 month who is very determined to do as the others so I was shadowing her for about 45 min .
It was so hot out we had a water break in the shade and the 17 month old did not appreciate the break ... At all !!
Full meltdown , all that was expected was a water break , dc baby threw a fit , threw herself down , I sat her in the stroller , she went full melt down and tried to bite the stroller ? She is usually a good , easy going child , but I'm thinking more of her at two yrs old so I let her sit until she stopped screaming and tantrum-ing and let her out but she threw herself on the ground and started up again . So I put her back in the stroller and we got ready to leave just trying not to give the tantrum too much attention . She stopped and was almost asleep on the walk home but I did get a couple of looks !
I am confident with two yr olds , I do time out at parks if needed but this little one looks like a baby , would you of let her tantrum on the ground ? I didn't want to of had to leave but if she's throwing herself around the stroller first she could hurt herself and/or we got more than a couple of looks . Maybe it's not a big deal to see a lo losing it at the park ?
