9 answers  3 Year Old Saying "Iam Sad" ALL the Time  Hey ladies,
So my daughter is almost 3 and everytime she's upset and
throwing a fit she only says "but iam so sad!" And she melts
down. She won't explain why she is upset, its just always "but
iam so sad!" And I ask her calmly "why are you so sad" or "whats
making you so sad" but when I ask over and over again I get a
little frustrated when she won't talk to me about it. I don't
want to dimiss her feelings and I want her to feel like she can
explain her emotions to me without holding it in. Anyone else
ever have this problem?  What can I do next?  Featured Answers
You are asking too much for a 3 year old to explain her
feelings. She can't.  Just mirror what you believe her emotions
to be. " Yes, it is sad when you can't have a candy", (or
whatever the situation is). That usually helps calm the meltdown
somewhat.  Other than that, I wouldn't worry about it. A 3 year
old throwing fits is common enough.  6 moms found this helpful
