Overwhelmed Mother

Yes, will definitely get irritated when they scream. Do buffer in some time beforehand if you plan to leave the playground as they will know in mind okay mummy going to leave soon. Don’t leave abruptly leave. Alternatively divert their attention saying hey I have your favourite food waiting for you at home. And I also always tell myself to switch off the “screaming noise” in my mind so that I can maintain my sanity and conserve my energy. Hope that helps

I'm a preschool teacher yet I lose my cool with my baby. Definitely tap out and get husband to tap in. When he feels overwhelmed then swop. Sometimes it's tough, but we need to stop and remember that they are experiencing big emotions in such little bodies.
