The House of Tiny Tearaways
Family Eleven: Behaviour
Tracey (34), Bulent (34), Hakan (four), Konur
and Emir (two-and-a-half) from Manchester
Twins Konur and Emir are extremely wilful and badly-behaved.
They both have tantrums on a daily basis and their brother Hakan is
getting neglected.
The twins' tantrums often involve them throwing themselves
on the floor and screaming as loudly as they can. When they get into
this mode, they are uncontrollable. They refuse to move from where they
are crouched and they lash out at anyone who tries to help or comfort
them, letting out high-pitched screams.
Tracey and Bulent met in Turkey when Tracey was on holiday,
and got married nine months later.
They are from very different cultural backgrounds and
much of the problems stem from their differing opinions.
Bulent is very relaxed, whilst Tracey wants more organisation
and order.
They have tried various techniques to deal with the
tantrums but they cannot agree with one another on the best way to proceed
from here.
