We have 4 kids. 10 year old boy, 8 year old boy, 4 year old boy, and 16 month old girl. The older two are biological, the 4 year old was adopted at birth, and the 16 month old came to us at 11 months. We are currently fostering but it is moving towards adoption.She is an adorable little girl and everyone goes crazy over her. Recently she has been testing boundaries and throwing full body tantrums. Today she has 3 big tantrums. Once because my son took a crayon away from her, once because we disciplined her by moving her from the playroom, and once because my mom took a pen from her. The problem? Each time someone went to rescue her. The first time my oldest gave her the crayon back because he felt bad and my mom did the same thing with the pen. The time we took her from the playroom because she was deliberately misbehaving, I told her that once she stopped crying, sat down, and wiped her face she could come back downstairs. My mom said she couldn't understand me but once I said it a second time, my little girl stopped crying, sat in her chair, wiped her face, and walked over to the door. She understands.It's with everything. The moment she starts crying someone comes to save the day. Anything she wants people give to her. I know some of that is normal but I can't help but think people are overexcited because she's our only girl. We live 2 minutes from my brother and 10 minutes from my mom, so family is always over. My brother has three kids, including two girls, but the last girl in my husband's family was born 5 years ago. Since then there have been 3 boys, my 4 year old son, and my SIL's 3 and 1 year old sons, and SIL just found out she is expecting another boy. As much as we talk to everyone they say they just can't sit back and watch her cry. How do we stop this? Even her daycare does it and the only admitted this week that they need to stop because she's having behaviors there. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2XETvGb
