My three-year-old threw tantrums and begged me not to take him to daycare. Worried, I went in unannounced, and what I saw there left me shocked and feeling terrible for my child.
“No, mommy, no!” Johnny threw himself on the floor and started screaming. I sighed. This couldn’t be happening again. I looked at my watch. If he threw a full tantrum, I would be late yet again.
I gazed at my three-year-old with exasperation.
Johnny had been going to daycare for two years and always loved it. Since the past week, out of the blue, he’d been making a scene, begging me not to take him.

I’d spoken to my pediatrician, and the doctor had told me that toddlers often went through the ‘terrible threes.’
“Stop it!” I heard myself scream, and then I saw the look of fear in my son’s eyes. Something wasn’t right.
