Having raised multiple toddlers, I can attest that children are experts when it comes to dramatic reactions. Temper tantrums in kids can span a spectrum of behaviors, from the familiar whining and crying to the full-blown theatrics of screaming, kicking, hitting, and yes, even breath-holding. It’s a universal experience, equally likely to be encountered in both boys and girls, and usually plays out during the ages of 1 to 3.
Now, enter Bess Kalb, a household name known for her remarkable contributions to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! television show and her distinguished work as a journalist with The New Yorker magazine. As a fellow parent who’s been down this delightful toddler road, she’s no stranger to the world of mini-dramas.
Just recently, Kalb took to Twitter to share an amusing incident involving her 2-year-old son, whose world nearly crumbled when he discovered that his granola bar wrapper hadn’t been aligned to his exacting standards. In her characteristically witty style, Kalb cheekily requested prayers from her Twitter followers, setting off a chain reaction of parents sharing their own tales of unforgettable meltdowns and pandemonium. It’s a heartwarming and relatable glimpse into the rollercoaster ride of parenting toddlers.
Hey if you could spare a prayer for my 2-year-old right now, his granola bar wrapper was pulled down slightly too low and it’s unclear if a recovery from this is possible.
