My son is three and a half, and has started (started – more like been doing this for several months now) yelling and screaming when he doesn’t get his way. I am trying to hard to not flip out, but after a couple minutes of this, especially when it’s in public or right outside our apartment, I just can’t take it anymore.
It is hard enough to try to talk to him and get him to understand what I’m telling him when he’s in a good mood. Forget trying to get him to stop screaming once he’s started.
I just don’t know what to do.

I’m feeling better, I’m definately exercising more, eating better (most of the time) and have more energy. And the scale has yet to budge. I guess I had this vision of the pounds just melting off…I guess that’s just remembering back to high school when weight was never an issue.
it’s disheartening to have made so many steps in the right direction and nothing to show for it. On the bright side, I’m continuing to do all the right stuff (for the most part), so eventually I will see some sort of change, right? That’s what I’ll keep telling myself.
Very, very difficult. Trying to forget all assumptions from the past? Even though every person is an individual: just because something happens that reminds me of something a previous jerk did doesn’t mean its the same. At least not yet. How do you do this?
