18 Month Regression: Weathering the Storm

I finally just gave up.

Little guy playing in the living room. I term "game" loosely because she really cries and whines transient clearly shows with the game is displayed using a mixture of "happy no matter what you do I'm not going. I'm tired. That is sad. Charlie Sheen is the only person still win.

She use to sleep at 7:00 from 7:00. A difficult childhood, a troubled the initial process, we completely through the night were thrilled to be able to sleep. All that changed about a month ago.

First, we each of us to cry to get your toy instead of the self and getting a trip to the store within 20 minutes is getting hurt (which he last enjoyed) as see small displays of anger. Then he began acting out. He was always a hearty meal with food for the game and wants to get out of your chair before your meal ate only half. Naps of less than two hours every 2 hours and maybe a nap in the afternoon went to one to leave completely. Is it a simple row of three round gold is an arduous task and at the end of his crib to bed before kicking the ritual use to be changed in an hour.

Eventually he was satisfied more often than he was angry .... All .... .... Day long. Fed, changed and played with for over an hour after being - he would scream when we left the playing field. Our very accommodating once the child began to whine for every little thing - even when we were already tending to him.

At present every aspect of our life is stressful: sleep, work, entertainment, shopping and relaxing time can be difficult when children are playing with you still screws, fusses and may complain.

We began to wonder what we did wrong. Why did a first low-maintenance child Supernanny suddenly turned into the worst case? We did not want to say out loud, but my husband and I both wondered if our own house dedication and strenuous playtime schedule had changed a brat our second child.

We have the time that we had hit just 18 months regression did not know.

Regression child 18 months and last approximately 20 months at any time (oh, yay) well can begin. For toddlers at this stage everything you previously "normal routine" as the fight against the start - due to an increased awareness, communication skills and ability to keep themselves awake in spite of its exhaustion increased. Indicated their unwillingness or inability being mainly at night to sleep.

Oddly enough, they refused to sleep because they are tired. Often a precursor to this phase of the second afternoon nap is falling. Parents know not, any better is a sign that your toddler just 1 day with more energy and is ready to tackle this as - take your belt ... Er, diaper under 2 hours of morning sleep. Unfortunately, if your little prince (ss) later turns into a monster, it was not the case.

Experts around the world all agree that it will end eventually, but you have to wait it out.

So what's a parent to do in between? Bring back that second nap.

Try the last few days we have started this great achievement. Of course, it does not follow. She babbles, then whines, then screams to be retrieved, again, murmuring a few minutes later and his "Dogdog" goes back to play with. Through these steps we all stay in his bed, and her voice through paying close attention to the monitor. If he continues to play then we live in his crib. At least some comfort that "if not getting sleep. If he then screams for more than 15 minutes to get back in the field we play. So far it is not much difference at night, but it's been only a few days. Every parent knows that there is no overnight fix for a behavior issue, so we are determined to follow through - if for no other results than 30 - 45 minutes during the day so that we secure separation In tiredness and annoyance to a manageable level.

We practice at night, what a clever stage "controlled crying" as opposed to CIO wrought mother. He CIO impression that you care that your baby is crying and trying to make it less or never check their status during the process does not. I do not agree more and believe that is why the CIO could be such a bad rap. Controlled crying, what many caring, attentive parent is practiced by a very good headline. Instead of rushing the child just because they fuss, you can monitor them through or out of the door to listen, time interval, which gradually get longer, quietly in the room go check on the baby in peace, pat your back , your favorite soft toy to snuggle with them and then tuck them back into the room again before leaving.

Unfortunately, some (like tonight) night is that no matter what. So myself and my husband (who is us 'night duty') to resign yourself to not sleeping and one for the morning to get down. A very early morning.

Through this step was never our first child. Than it was in particular, a simple baby and children. The little guy, it's almost like we are first time parents again.

However, this too shall pass.

It is not easy - in fact it is very difficult. However, as parents, we're not easy to sign.
