Meltdowns....Who knew a boy could be a Drama Queen?

The Boy (when he's up, he's UP. When he's down, it's a meltdown)

I'm not sure, but I think my son has officially taken over my position in the house as the overly dramatic one. Rather, quick temper one. Only when he gets mad, he has a meltdown of epic proportions.......I've never seen one child cry so much in a single day!

Perhaps the terrible twos are hitting him at the ripe old age of 3? I don't know. Maybe the cosmic world realizes that I have more patience now and wants to test me? See if this Isagenix truly works. Well, COSMOS, it works! So PHHLLTT!

But I need advice from other moms out there. I'm running out of ideas on how to nip this in the bud. Unfortunately, the best thing that works is if I ignore him until he realizes he's not going to win just because he's crying. Is that my only option? I'd rather it just not be happening, no joke, 10-15 times per day.

If The Boy wakes up crying. The day hasn't started, but he's crying already. I go in, say good morning and we start our day with me not "giving him" what he wants just because he's crying. I kind of just ignore that he's even crying, because I know he's not hurt. He calms down, he has something to eat, but then he starts again when we have to get dressed. I just ignore it, get him dressed the best I can and he realizes he's not getting anywhere with the crying.

I'm not going to go through every mental breakdown with you, but basically, you get the idea of how my day goes. He doesn't have any issues the two hours, two afternoons a week, at school. Or at least they tell me he doesn't, who knows if he actually does. I'm just thankful for the two hours of not having to hear it and ignore it. Does that make me terrible? Probably, but for my sanity, I'm okay with being thought of as terrible.

A month ago, I'd have been screaming and crying right along with him, which would make it worse......and well, no one would be happy about that. So I'm glad it's happening at this time, since I'm doing so much better on the Isagenix, but today I reached a breaking point and had to excuse myself to scream in the other room. It's the first time I've lost it since December 8th, but again, I don't know if Isagenix would have worked on anyone this long without a bit of a meltdown for me. Especially since I have a bit of a sinus issue - burning in my sinuses, think it might be an infection.

SOOOOO, what do you do when your kid has about 10 meltdowns a day? Any ideas besides the ignoring it, like it isn't happening and just talking to him like you don't even hear it.

Did I screw myself the first few days it was happening when I would stop everything, then sit there for 30 minutes each time trying to console him and figure out what was wrong? Only to find out he was crying because his sock was not on the right way.........
