My two-year-old grabbed two hands full of cereal and tried to take it into the living room. I stopped her, saying that it was okay for her to eat the cereal in the dining room, but not in the living room. She dropped to the floor in a full-blown tantrum, and flung both hands full of cereal at me.
I have become such a battle-hardened mama, I didn’t even flinch.
She went straight into timeout.
My 3 year old has just recently started throwing full-blown tantrums (almost believed I got away with minimal tantrums with both kids). She puts herself in time out.

I used to try parenting techniques and emotional coaching, until I caved in to the fact that all my kids take after me.

Then I must be grateful my kids are my opposite as toddler me used to chase after my mom until she put herself in time out.
