3.4 years old Tantrum

This past couple of weeks, the little ones (who used to be a calm, cool and sweet boy) has been extremely testing my patience. (Dunno if this something have to do with sending him to the day care) Some of the things he did, I know were pretty normal for a 3 years old kid but the fits are what really get me. He's will throw a hissy fits even for the simplest things. Here's a few scenarios and the end results after all the tantrums & fits :

1) I said NO (in a soft tone of voice) to him because he was playing with my keyboard while I was working.

Result = He threw all the newly opened Pringles from the container that he was holding to the floor. What a waste!!

2) I said NO to him because he insisted to have the 'Nasik Ayam' that we just bought from Param right away inside the car when I was DRIVING!!

Result = He opened the one of our umbrellas at the back seat inside the car. Luckily the edge of the umbrella didn’t poke into his eyes.

3) I said WAIT to him because he wanted a toy from the box that he couldn’t reached out with his hands while I was busy doing laundry.

Result = He peed on the floor!!

4) I said NO to him because he wanted to go back home while he was still seeking treatment in the hospital.

Result = He ran to the lift all by himself so I had to chase him without wearing my tudung and once I was able to get hold of him, he knocked me on the head with one of his toy car that he was holding. Sakit Amat! I almost spilled a tears !! :~(

Believe me..There was a lot more. Throwing himself on the floor and had a full out fist pounding, feet kicking screaming, crying tantrum are quite a common scenes that we all get from this little fella especially if we're at the mall. I've tried ignoring, I've trying talking to him, I've tried time-outs, I've tried spankings...it just never ends. Is this normal for 3 years old growing up boy? Please god, give me all the strengths to keep up with this 'phase' especially time bulan2 puasa nie. Amin

To my beloved son,

In case if you read this..Is not that I'm complaining and don’t love you anymore . You know that I love you to death but there are the times (while you're going through this phase) when I just at a loss.Hope that one day you'll be able to understand :)



PS: Alhamdulillah..the little ones was discharged on Tuesday. The doc gave him something called Pro-Biotic(a good bacteria for his digestive systems) and Kiddi Pharmaton for his appetite. Suprisingly..after few days consuming both of them his appetite has improved a lot ;) I mean a lot!! (eg: Order roti bakar pagi, ptg & malam and having nasik at the same time)
