1) It's a huge physical reaction. We're talking big alligator tears, stomping feet, major screaming, and turning bright red. During a meltdown, I have to remind Collins to breathe.
2) The injustices causing the meltdown are pretty significant. Recent examples include putting cherry tomatoes in the grocery cart, stopping her from flinging watermelon all over the dining room, and removing a towel from a bag.
3) It's really embarrasing when you're in public.
4) They end as fast as they begin (thank goodness). Here's my baby in meltdown mode yesterday.
Here she is two minutes later playing quietly with friends.
If anyone has any gems of advice on how to better handle a temper tantrum, please send them my way!
