Socialization in the Context of the Family: Parent-child Interaction
Children are casuistic beings. Information technology's not their fault, though; they simply haven't developed mentally to the indicate where they can think everything through properly. This means that children sometimes go upset over foreign and nonsensical things. The most seasoned parents know to set up themselves for the epic tantrums that can happen at any moment.
The following stories are just a few examples of the many odd things that can brand a kid flip. While some of these might be frustrating to read, we have to remember these kids are just being, well, kids.
Necessary Audition
My son was upset because I wasn't there while he was throwing a tantrum in forepart of his grandpa. He was putting his face in the rug, kicking his feet, and fake crying when he realized I was missing.
So he came upstairs, grabbed my mitt, positioned me adjacent to grandpa, and got right back into meltdown manner. He would look upwardly every and so oftentimes to make sure we were still watching him. I asked my dad what initially ready him off. He said he shut off his favorite Tv set show.
My child has a matter for pumpkins. She loves them. Names them. Puts them in timeout. Sleeps with them. We bought her three minor pumpkins in Oct, and by the finish of January, they were getting a bit soft… She no longer sleeps with them. I can dispose of them, correct? Wrong. Cue huge meltdown when I try to quietly throw i abroad. I was expecting the talk about what happens when pets die, merely no one prepared me for the "where do gourds go when they die" discussion.
Spaghetti Returned
When my girl was 3, she was making pretend spaghetti in her play kitchen while my brother and sister-in-law were over visiting. She offered my brother a Disney Princess plate of said pretend spaghetti and he began "eating." Cue my girl's face going from a smile as she watched him eat the spaghetti to that deep frown that all parents know is a forerunner to a meltdown. She began sobbing uncontrollably and said, "He ate ALL of the spaghetti! There's none left!" Nothing would console her until my blood brother asked, "Practise you lot want me to throw the spaghetti upward?" She nodded, and my brother pretended to vomit the spaghetti back on the plate. Her tears immediately end and she'southward all smiles over again, happy to take her pretend spaghetti back.
Puffs Of A Unlike Color
His cereal was the incorrect color. He asked for Cocoa Puffs. I gave him Cocoa Puffs. He threw himself downward on the dining room flooring howling, kicking, and yelling.

He and then hid under the loftier chair yelling and hit the wall for a good 20 minutes before he of a sudden got upward, saturday down at the table, and calmly ate his bowl of incredibly soggy brown Cocoa Puffs.
No Elmo Without Big Bird
My two-year-old is obsessed with altogether cakes right now. He loves looking at them so I search #birthdaycake on Instagram and let him scroll through them.
Yesterday, we were scrolling through cakes and he spotted an Elmo cake. He asked to see a Large Bird block also. I told him at that place wasn't one, not thinking much of it until he lost his stuff. I have learned it is unacceptable for there to be an Elmo block without a Big Bird block. Information technology hAs been more than 24 hours and he hasn't forgotten.
Not A Magic Blanket
At two a.grand., my 2-twelvemonth-one-time woke upward due to a bad dream. He asked his mother to put the blanket up as to cover him with information technology. She proceeded to do and then, and and then he yelled: "NOT Like THIS, Similar THIS!" He held the blanket six inches above his body. He expected my married woman to be able to make the blanket float six inches above him for the entire dark. 30-minutes of crying later on, he conceded that he had lost his fight against gravity and passed out.
The Mysterious BIV
Earlier today, I was driving to the store and from his car seat in the back, my toddler yelled at me, "I want the BIV!" He then proceeded to melt down about the "BIV". I attempted to effigy out what in the world he was talking nearly just had no luck. "What is a BIV? I don't know what yous are talking about. Can you lot bespeak at information technology? What is a BIV?" He paused for a moment, then admitted reluctantly, "I forgot the word." I still don't know what he was talking about.
Going Downward
Elevators. My child thinks people become on them to end their lives! Nosotros rode one upwardly and down and she screamed the entire time. I just don't get it. She yells at people not to get on the elevator! She screeches and is terrified if someone she loves gets on one.
I Desire The Dad With The Lemur
My 2-yr-quondam wanted a drawing grapheme on his favorite Idiot box show to exist his dad. When his real dad came dwelling from work, he got all angry considering he didn't desire to call him daddy anymore. He wanted the TV dad to be his real dad because the TV dad had a pet lemur.
Anyway, this went on for weeks. My son would throw a fit when his existent dad tucked him in, played with him, gave him a bath, or read him a story. He wanted the TV dad to do these things.
No Travel, Just Arrive!
Every morning I would ask my ii-twelvemonth-old, "Practice you want to go to the park?" He would say, "Yes! Play dirt!"
"Okay, go to the door for your shoes and jacket," I'd tell him. And then he would say, "No! Stay dwelling!"
"But don't you want to go to the park to play in the sandbox?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, so we need to go go your shoes and get in the auto"
"No!"
A full meltdown follows. We echo this exchange for another five minutes until he realizes that we can't both stay domicile and go to the park simultaneously.
Instant Sock Regurgitation

"Do you desire me to help yous?" I asked. "NO!" Furious scribbling connected. Then, MORE SCRIBBLING. More than MUMBLING. More than HUFFS!!!
Finally, she chunked her crayon across the room and slammed her hands downward on the piddling table. "I CAN'T DO IT!!! I AM So DONE WITH THIS DAY!!!" Hysterical wailing sobs came from her as she ran downwards the hallway, arms raised to a higher place her head flapping in the air current. Funniest stuff I'd e'er seen.
Almost Time For The Next One
She just started crying and said I broke her heart. After asking a few times and calming her down, she told me information technology was because I ruined her birthday. Her birthday had been like eight months before. I tried asking her how I ruined her birthday, but those were the merely ii sentences she would say.

We need to become to Dr. Anna'south house!" I can't seem to become it through to her that she can't go visit a cartoon doctor.
This One Isn't Light-green
Her paintbrush wasn't light-green. Mind yous, at that place was a green paintbrush bachelor inside attain, but the fact that the one in her paw wasn't green was a problem. She did eventually relent and decide it was okay to only pretend the cerise one was green.
Snakes Can't Hug
I took her to the zoo last summer. We went to i of the "encounter" demonstrations where they let kids touch on and learn about animals. Afterwards the lesson on snakes, the workers started to walk around holding various snakes for kids to come across up close, pet, and hold. Well, she gets her turn and has a little snake placed in her easily. She uses a finger to gently pet it, then she starts to cry. I ask her what'south incorrect and she is distressing considering snakes don't accept arms and tin't hug each other. The rest of the day she kept asking me to help the snakes learn to hug.
A Logical, If Far-Off Fear
One of my toddlers is very upset about bloodshed. She keeps melting downwards saying, "I don't want to pass away. How will I talk? How will I swallow?" Then she starts screaming. Just I guess it's pretty logical, mortality sucks.
Everything You Practise Is Wrong
My girl asks, "Daddy, open up my beverage." I twist off the top. She yells, "NO! I wanted to open up it!" I tell her not to cry and to place the cap back on top then she tin can be the one to pull it off. So she goes, "NO, you didn't open up it!"
Confused, I say, "Y'all asked to open it." She tells me, "No I wanted you to hand it to me!" I manus it to her. Sobbing, she says, "DON'T HAND IT TO ME." I ask, "Do you desire me to mitt it to you or not?" "NO!" she says. So and then I tell her, "I'll place it down correct hither on the counter then." Shoving it away, she yells, "NOT LIKE THAT!" 15 minutes pass with her crying on the floor before she starts to calm down.
Do And Don't Desire It
My 2-year-old recently asked for a rice cake, which I gave him. Cue his absolute fit: "NO RICE CAKE! NO RICE Block!!" He was screaming, crying, hit himself—the whole shebang. My best guess is he wanted the rice cake but likewise didn't desire it and was furious that I'd non met either of those atmospheric condition. Schrödinger parenting at its best.

It's adorable in the worst possible style.
There Is No Cookie
My two-year-old son heard my wife crumble up a receipt in the car and for the adjacent hour, he lost his mind. He thought we had a cookie and that nosotros were holding out on him. No amount of explaining could fix the situation.
Information technology Moved!
My two-year-old daughter has one of these mechanical dogs that motility and brand noise if you press a button. So every now and then, she'll come up to me with information technology, so I activate it. If I do, she gets super scared. She'll literally scream and run away from it. Simply if I turn it off, tantrum time. What do you want from me, tiny human?

My three-twelvemonth-old asked, "Why practice doctors have eyes?"
I asked to clarify: "Eyes? Or ice?" He said, "Optics!!!!"
I responded, "Because they are homo beings?" Nonetheless frustrated, he said, "No! Why do they accept eyes!?!?"
I told him, "So they can see?" And so he went, "No! Why?!?!"
Like, what answer do yous want man? The question doesn't even make sense! I don't fifty-fifty want to admit how long this went on.
Apple tree Bath
Yesterday, our youngest son had a meltdown because I wouldn't allow him cascade his apple tree juice on the cat.

She said "Oh no. Babies but drink milk so I didn't eat Cheez-Its." He cried harder because "I would accept probably liked to take some Cheez-Its!" Meltdown for another hour.

She didn't want to grow up and be deadening similar an adult. Wisdom beyond her years, that one.
The Sad Meal
My daughter was perhaps three at the time and I was taking her to McDonald's. I asked her if she wanted a Happy Repast and she said no because she wasn't happy. I tried to tell her that it was merely chosen a Happy Repast merely she wouldn't have information technology. She couldn't eat a Happy Meal if she wasn't happy. I felt like the worst parent ever ordering Lamentable Meal for my daughter at the counter.
Stealing From Herself

He insisted, "THIS ISNT THE WAY TO MY Business firm."
We pulled up to the house and I said, "See kid, we are here."
"THIS IS NOT MY HOUSE!"
He cried for 15 minutes as I tried to prove information technology was his house. Zilch worked. I really became paranoid that this was not his firm and that I was in some strangers house with the same pets. The kid got to my head.
I Want The One I Didn't Want
I offered her a granola bar after she'd been asking for 20 minutes. She immediately got angry, saying she didn't want one anymore. Information technology was already open, then existence a hungry mama, I took a bite. Cue hysterics about how it was hers and she wanted THAT ONE.
Chocolate On The Donut

After finishing only the chocolate, she ran up to me asking for more chocolate. I told her, "No, I can't add more than chocolate.' She then laid down on the floor crying, touching the top of the doughnut maxim, "More than, more than," over and over for 10 minutes.
How Many?
Yesterday while driving, my toddler asked, "Dad, how many is Sarah (his older cousin)?" I responded, "How many years old? She's 11." He then said, "No, how many is Sarah?" Dislocated, I asked, "How many what? Do you mean how far abroad she lives?" At this bespeak, he was furious. "No, how many!!!"
I told him, "I'm trying to answer bud, effort to be calm." So he said, "No you're non, y'all're trying to make me mad!" I bodacious him, "I don't want yous to exist mad, I simply don't know what your question is." Ruby-faced and enraged, he asked, "I SAID HOW MANY IS SARAH?"

Aye, I wasn't too bully on it either kid. My husband, of course, idea it was hilarious and started great up. This naturally made the three-yr-old weep even more.
Technical Truth From A Toddler
My daughter was insistent on warming her food up in the fridge and began getting angrier and angrier with me for suggesting she meant to say the microwave. We're going back and forth for a few minutes, then she's screaming at this point: "I want this to get warmer in the fridge!" Finally, I screamed back, "The microwave makes things warm! You cannot make things warmer in the refrigerator!" In the most matter of fact style, she turned her nose upwards at me and said, "Y'all can if it'southward frozen" and went on her way.
When Acting Becomes Reality
My niece doesn't explode often, but when she does, information technology'south always rather memorable. The last fourth dimension was no exception. She'due south got quite the imagination and always comes up with these fantastic worlds. Only ever since my grandma died (her great grandma), she's taken the lesson of death and deals with it past applying it in some way to whatever she's pretending to exist. Nosotros've agreed that information technology'southward okay that she understands how death works. Her have on it is giving purpose and backstory to other characters. She gets it. Ordinarily.
One afternoon, I got to be the librarian, and get her a volume every time she'd hop on over. I option it upward, give it a scan, plop some imaginary stamps into the front cover, hand information technology off, and away she goes into the corner. Like shooting fish in a barrel plenty of a game; it gets her looking at all the pictures in books, and gives me several minutes between each go. She and then says, "Okay, at present, pretend that…" she thinks for a second, "pretend that your brother, he, heDIED." Oh boy. Here we become. Sure I approximate. Now, it's non off-white from my perspective because we're in a thread where the ending to every story is inconsolable mental trauma of a child; it's understandable to demand better foresight on my office. Just I just went with information technology, keeping the fairly easy game going, and so when she comes in, I say to her, "Well, I'k afraid in that location'southward been a terrible evolution, and I'll need to shut early on today. Feel costless to option a book, I must attend to my family unit, for my poor brother has succumbed to farty butt disease." She snapped, "MY DADDY IS DEAD!?!?"
In a glimmer, fiction merged into reality. When her dad came in to make sure she didn't deglove an appendage (an appropriate supposition with all the shrieking), she responded to his ethereal entrance by imagining herself into a horrifying religious experience with the dandy beyond. Her dad spent 10 minutes trying to convince this wailing four-year-old that he was not a ghost.
