Reddit reviews Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids

At 15 months old, I don't if there's much you can do. My daughter is 6 and I have blocked don't remember this phase well. I'm sure I was more of a "Knock it off and just eat" unsympathetic kind of mom. I've actually become more patient as she's become older.

Repeating yourself constantly might help because then she'll learn words she needs to communicate. At fifteen months, she probably doesn't have a strong enough vocabulary. Again, I might not be remembering this age well.

Nowadays I tell my daughter things like "I know you're frustrated but is this something that you need to pitch a fit for? Or should just ask nicely for X?"

Edit: I saw the other comment and it reminded me of two books we own that may help. Peaceful Piggies and Have You Filled a Bucket show kids how to express emotions and how their emotions and actions affect others.

We use this book with Kinder kids. When in doubt, find a children's book.
