They really do. Sometimes they are for normal reasons like tired, hungry, overstimulated, etc. And some times they happen for no known reason. I find its best if you know your childs triggers as then you can avoid critical mass.
Today at Target we did not see the trigger until it was too late and critical mass was reached on the bathroom floor at Target.
Yeah, gross.
He was fully in meltdown mode so I asked daddy to take him to the car to calm him down which caused him to flip out more. So, daddy took a screaming, kicking and swinging little out to the car at which point he smacked daddy's glasses off his face and almost kicked him in the balls.
Good times.
All while I was in Target looking at home organization.
I deal with the meltdowns all day every day, I enjoyed one off.
But the other side of me was upse that I wasn't there to comfort my son while he was having such a hard go of it. I wasn't there to offer boobah or hugs or kisses. I'm sure daddy offered most of them, but knowing my child needed help and I wasn't there made me sad.
Ugh. These things happen.
