Frequent tantrums, emo, disobedient, difficult, meltdowns.. These are what describe Lil Shauna now. Yes, you are right, she is 4 years old, not 14 years old. Even Popo says that too so they are probably not attempts to capture my attention. Almost every day is punctuated with a few episodes of such outbursts. She will either demand her way, throw a tantrum if she doesn’t get it or turned very quiet or simply refused to walk. It is very mental draining. We don’t know what is wrong. In her limited vocabulary, she can’t tell us how she feels other than “sad” and “angry”. It doesn’t help that Lil Isaac is sticky and I have to channel a fair bit of attention to him to prevent a wailing toddler adding on to the already chaotic and frustrating situations.
Popo thinks that we should tell her to behave and put those tantrums away. Well, if talking works, it will save us plenty of heartaches. We coax and we threaten. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This is her in one of those emo moments. She was still willing to pose for a picture but looking all emo and pathetic. It is a growing phase, right?
