Is 1 too young for deliberate tantrums??
Last nights senario. I was out buying a laptop for my uncle, come home and i can hear Kylah absolutly screetching from upstairs, i race up thinking something awful is happening and all she wants is her bowl and spoon to feed herself. DF woldnt give it to her so she went mental.. to the point she was choking and spewing (My august ladies might remember me saying she does that) Then today, i wouldnt give her my pen, so she started all over again, im talking almost hyperventilating screaming styles.. Is this normal? ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Our started at 10.5 months so as far as I know it can be normal. Depends on the childs temperament I think. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

as soon as she turned 1 Ella started throwing mini tantrums over the smallest of things (mostly being told No or something getting taken around from her). She starts crying and then either jumps up and down on the spot or (very carefully) lies down on the floor. Most of the time it is quite funny to watch and I have to stop myself laughing... ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Yeah if Briahna is in that sort of mood and i wont give her something or tell her off or take something away from her, she just cries and puts her head on the ground. Or crawls into the couch and pushes her head into it. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

Yup!! And it's hard to contend with someone old enough to tantrum but not old enough to discuss problem-solving . It's worth nipping the tantrumming in the bud if you can! -------------  |

j started at about 8 months its actually quite amusing to watch, scary at first tho as if you take something off him or move it before he gets to it he throws himself backwards onto the floor and rolls over and over and over screaming  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD 10.5yrs DS 6yrs DS 11mths 5 little angles watching from above |

Jakes started about 10 months and since turning 1 are getting worse. He throws himself back on the floor and kicks his feet, shakes his head and screams!!
No idea how top deal with them sorry. I'm trying to ignore him, and have left the room a few times ... sometimes it works, sometimes not so much .... When he hits his head of the floor or coffee table while throwing himself back ... then he really cries hard!! (and I have to console him).  ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I just got home from a massive public tantrum They're so awful! Kate started at about 10 months and they are getting worse and worse. At home we put her in the next room and leave her to it, but its alot harder in public.
Sorry not much help- don't know how 'normal' it is but it certainly seems to be pretty common! ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3
