My daughter is 16 months and you almost described her to a T. Toddlerhood is difficult...they are learning to do things on their own and are enjoying their new found freedom, but also still want mom. They also have no control over their emotions, so it can be challenging to deal with them. I don't have other children, but do have a dog that is like a child and my daughter behaves the same way with her that yours does with your son.

While she can be very whiney at times and get upset and throw tantrums, she can also be so loving and funny. I just do my best to help her learn how to deal with things.

It's hard sometimes and really just a matter of patience. Hang in there! I'm sure it will get easier. And your schedule change is likely a tough adjustment for her too.

Good Luck!
