Thread: Does your 2 year old ever have exorcist style meltdowns?

I WISH IT WAS UNCOMMON! but my son has them and he is not even 2 yet close though! man he is rotten sometimes! but thankfully the terrible 2/3's end quickly and one day you can look back laughing good luck!

i'm not talking about crying or whining for something, i am talking about screaming his/her rear end off for 20 min, where there is no calming him, nothing can snap him out of it. he seems possessed, and doesn't know what he wants to do, completely loses his mind. it usually happens when he is nearing sleeptime and it starts with getting frustrated with something.

not asking for how to deal with it, just want to know if your kid ever had it, or if this is uncommon.

thanks
lol @ love my babies and my bump, yes, exactly, it's like a teen horror movie, just because the computer was shut off or something like that.
and yes, the part about the neighbors, ours must think we are the world's worst parents lol

My son has had similar episodes, and yes they are more likely to come on when he's very tired (for instance when he skips a nap). They last a good 5 to 10 min.

Well, sometimes kids with special needs of some degree have extreme meltdowns. Kids that can't effectively express themselves verbally have these tantrums. You might notice them having them less with a little more structure in their day.

it is very common,
my daughter would scream, throw herself on the floor and try to attack people!! we use to joke and call her the exorcist too.
shes 5 now and has calmed down alot.
