Cosco scenera next which we are to bring on a trip. Where am I measuring for the 1” head clearance? From where the back of his head comes in contact with the seat there appears to be 1 inch, but likely not from the very top of his head. He fits all other weight and height requirements. Would love any guidance! We are to leave on Sunday.
Thank you!
My 2.5 year old is in a hitting phase. It has gotten a bit better recently, but comes out more when he’s tired. We’ve been trying to make sure to get him to bed on time whenever possible to avoid meltdowns.
Anyway, today was a bad hitting day and bedtime was particularly difficult. I don’t know how to handle hitting well at this time because I can’t just walk away—he needs to go to sleep and often it’s happening on his changing table. Often if I do walk away during the times when I can he just starts doing things that he knows will bring me back like throwing things or knocking chairs over. My husband is better at staying calm and trying to ignore the hitting and calmly telling him no, but I just immediately have this visceral reaction every time my toddler hits me where I feel like I just need to be away from him and if I can’t be away from him quickly I feel myself being more rough with him than I’d like. I would never hurt him on purpose, but I’ve plopped him down hard on the ground (on his feet) if I was carrying him, or held his arms more aggressively than I needed to if he’s hitting and I can’t move away. It makes me feel so awful. I internally loose all patience almost immediately when he hits and I struggle so hard to be calm and measured. How do I change this immediate, almost instinct-like response that I have to his hitting? I’m crying over how upsetting bedtime was for me tonight because of my own emotional response
