Hi, Dr. John.
How we doing?

Oh, man, I don't have any idea. Help me. Help me. I probably need to call you. What's going on?
So we have a three-year-old and a four-month-old. And he has some anxiety and he's pretty impatient. And he kind of just gets frustrated after like 10 minutes and then just needs to go take a break. And I don't get any breaks.
Yeah. Yeah.
How long has this been going on?
He's not that awful with like the babies, but once they hit the toddler age.
He's not that awful. He's medium awful with the babies. He's full awful with the older one.
Yeah. So the older one is a little bit worse just because, you know, toddlers are little mini teenagers.
But, but also taught like, all right. So I am with the, I remember the exasperated when, um, my son, my daughter didn't do it so much, but my son, when he was just like a, like a ball, I just remember he's a ball of human. Right. Um, And as a newborn, my wife was back teaching and he would just scream in this harrowing scream. I didn't know what to do. And I would just like try everything. Screaming, screaming. I didn't know what to do. And I used to get so frustrated. I would just get exasperated. Like, I don't know what to do here. Um, but my wife wasn't there. So I had to do something right. And sometimes I would just take him out and put him in a stroller and just be walking on the street and screaming. I know what to do. Right. Um, and so I get that the three or four year old.
What are common challenges dads face with toddlers?
Now we're getting into like adult grownup temper tantrum me kind of world. Tell me about that. Let me say this. So I have a ton of compassion for mom or dad. Like, I need a break for a second. I got to go outside because my nerves are fried. I get that. I get that. And I also get the other side of it. Like, hey, one of us doesn't get a break, right? One of us has to be here for the screaming human being. I get that. But tell me about the three, two, three, four, five-year-old.
I don't know. Like she is very independent and likes to do her own thing. And she doesn't listen to him because I feel like he like just starts yelling and like puffs and puffs whenever she's like reacting to anything. And like, I am able to like talk to her and like validate her feelings and like work her through it and kind of use it as like a teaching moment. But he just kind of freaks out.
