Meltdown

flake

My 16 yr old gets very angry over the slightest thing, then he breaks his things, 3 TV's 2 phones tablet. All this year!! I start to panic when I hear the first sign of his meltdown as I know what's next, he costs me a fortune and I don't know what else I can do but just replace stuff to keep him happy!!

  • Poor you, I know how you feel. Shopping is essential. I used to hold my daughter under one arm with her back to me, to limit the damage she could do to me, and go as fast as posible, to escape to home. I was on foot, I cannot imagine how you get a rigid banana shaped child into a car seat.

    Have you tried online shopping? It wasn't available when I had this issue. I use it now. Also he will start school soon, so you may be able to shop in peace then.

    As he gets older, give him his own shopping list to keep him occupied. They can learn such a lot from the shopping experience. I taught my kids about percentages by reading the nuitritional information boxes on cereal packets. They were only allowed less than 25% sugar in their cereals.
