I've heard that kids go through big developmental leaps every 6 months so I chalk it up to that when I can't find any other reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240539 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:31:09 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2240539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't happen often for us (but today too). I usually think it's the beginning of a cold if sleep was good. But it could even be the heat from yesterday. We were across the country but it was still sweltering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240503 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:13:20 +0000 psw27 2240503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my LO I usually chalk it up to sleep (lack of or bad quality) or a developmental milestone. Or he's just grouchy, just like how I wake up grouchy sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240495 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:09:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2240495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: for us its called "Monday" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240493 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:09:03 +0000 Dandelion 2240493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zillion reasons. Weather, tummies, tired. Just because :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240492 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:07:33 +0000 MrsH 2240492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 has been crazy grumpy this past weekend (albeit she does have an ear infection and strep (and baby is coming tomorrow) but she was melting down over the smallest things). Turns out she is probably going through a wonder week. </p> <p>Probably doesn't apply to your older kids though. Full moon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-rhyme-or-reason-to-kids-having-off-days#post-2240483 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 09:03:52 +0000 mrbee 2240483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids were really struggling this morning. My daughter cried and beg to be carried to summer camp, while my son was in a grouchy mood the whole way there. I used up 200% of my RDA of patience just walking/carrying the kids to school! Then when I got there, my daughter started crying and didn't want me to leave.</p> <p>If the kids are off for a reason, then I find it pretty easy to cope. But sometimes they're just off and I have no idea why! Nothing drains me faster than the good ol' "double meltown while out in public."</p> <p>Is there a rhyme or reason to kids having "off" days? </p>
