I'm sure that my kids must have had meltdowns at that sort of age ("terrible twos" are known as that for a reason) but things tend to get better and I have forgotten...

(Also, as a primary school governor for over a decade I got to see a lot of other peoples' kids, and mostly they're fine!)

Yea, this is what people have been telling me. Again, I knew that kids have meltdowns, especially around this age.

But with my daughter, they started between 6-8 months old, and have continued in cycles. She'll have 3-4 really big meltdowns (multiple hours long) per week, for about a month. Then we'll have a couple months with nothing. Rinse. Repeat.

It sucks but we can't attribute it to anything environmental, nutritional, etc so I guess it just is what it is.

Well I certainly don't envy you. Hang in there. At least talking about it probably helps.
