It’s a prerequisite that all toddlers throw tantrums in supermarkets, right? Surely, it’s not a thing that some parents don’t use the word no. But when should you be implementing something like a naughty step or quiet time? Ask other mums here, and find out if it’s ever acceptable to use a cage?… Joking, not joking.

You would expect that having done it before, I’d know how to survive the terrible two stage but…. here I am, seeking advice. I think it is similar to child birth and an element of amnesia where you forget all the suffering you went through… but this time around I also find I have less patience because we’re outnumbered with three kids. Any advice for dealing with terrible two’s and keeping sanity(!!) welcome.
