My 4yo boy is very smart and has a great sense of humor. But when he has a plan and encounters ANY deviation, he starts bawling for hours.
For example: mommy helped him blow his nose instead of daddy. Or stopping on the way to the gas station on the way to the playground when he wanted to go to the playground first.
At that point, he's completely inconsolable and demands doing the whole day over. "I want to redo everything!" He'll be so focused on screaming and crying he even neglects using the bathroom, crossing his legs until he calms down.
We can't just go back in time or restart our whole day from 0. Eventually he calms down. But it's getting ridiculous.
Anyone deal with something like this? Any advice to help him learn to go with the flow?
Since I only ever went as an adult the most I ever had to deal with were my kids antics or screaming. I don't even care, but getting singled out and told to leave is always a little embarrassing. Meanwhile everyone is dancing, screaming in tongues, or wiggling on the floor. But somehow my kid walking around and laughing around other kids is "distracting."
Also once wore a pagan metal shirt. I meant to change but simply had no time.
What was your most embarrassing moment in church?
