1.5 year old daughter wanted to eat the piece of pasta on the upper right corner of the plate last week. Couldn't manage to get it on the spoon. I helped her, but picked the (equivalent) piece of pasta next to it. The combination of frustration and anger over having to eat the wrong piece of pasta because she wasn't capable to get the right one on the spoon was too much for her. Of course a "dis-un dis-un dis-un dis-un DIS-UN DIS-UN D I S - U N!!!!!" meltdown followed.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoI've been there and it's pretty annoying in the moment, but the sometimes I really sympathize with their lack of agency and control over their environment. Littles ones are surrounded by people who can seemingly do whatever they need or want to, while the little one is relegated to struggling to get the piece of pasta they want off their plate. Not saying this makes it any less frustrating when you need to get them fed, bathe them, brush their teeth, read them a book, and put them to sleep by 7:30 but it's already 7:25 and they're losing their shit over a noodle
