Butterfly Effect
We were having dinner at an Italian restaurant last night when Brandon started "misbehaving"; won't listen to Daddy, said no to everything, etc. As a mom, this is nothing new to me, and knowing my son by heart, I know he was crabby and not himself last night. I know there was something wrong with his system; perhaps he was hungry, tired, or just hormonal. Daddy started getting upset for his lack of obedience. And so, I had to deal with two cranky boys. Keeping my cool, I had to remind my husband that he needed to transcend beyond the situation, otherwise, I am going to end up babysitting both of them.
I believe that as parents we have to learn to "float" outside of the tantrum situation so we don't ruin the situation we are in at that moment. For me, dealing with a child throwing tantrum is already a handful in itself, especially in public. When my husband gets upset at the same time, that is way too much for me.
A 3-year old child is still a child and will still be learning how to handle his emotions while testing his independence and will power. Parents should tag team.
