In the past 24 hours we have had 4 major meltdowns. One of them was dtd to hunger and another to exhaustion. The other two were triggered by random events. The first because A didn't want baby teeth. The second because he wanted a blue cart not a red one.

I am concerned about the clustering of them. Usually we have one or two a week. So 4 in 24 hours is a lot.

A is a spirited child. I just started Your Spirited Child. He doesn't have any obvious allergy indicators. Sleeps awesome, no skin issues, no stomach problems.

We haven't had any major changes. Could be a lack of big muscle activity. :think He's 3y8m.

Any thoughts?

It seems likely to me that it's simply that the first two meltdowns left him tired and emotionally worn out... making him less able to handle the other events that wouldn't normally have set him off.

It's also possible that he's fighting cold or something.
