Maia Mi

Oh dear. Maia has certainly hit the 'tantrum' stage. We've had some corkers. It can be quite scary actually as she does start to get violent and try to hurt herself - by hitting her head on the floor and so on. Anything can trigger it, so for now we're trying to work out just what sets it off etc. Just putting her coat on when it's time to go out and play can set it off. Or telling her it's time to say bye-bye to the telly cos it's bath time (and I give her plenty of warnings). Or the other morning was horrible, as I lost my temper because she wouldn't sit at the table & eat her usual readybrek - and we were running late. In the end we somehow managed to get upstairs and clean teeth (without breakfast) and on the way down she decided actually some readybrek would be rather nice come to think of it and had five mouthfuls before i plopped her in the pram and managed - somehow - to get the train!
