My daughter gets angry and hits her head and mouth into things. She has learned that tile floor and wood are not good choices for this activity. She started doing this at about 10 months. Sometimes I have to bear hug her so she doesn't hurt herself-but otherwise I ignore. We use sign language with her so she is usually able to communicate what she wants with no problem and sometimes no just means no and she has to deal.Daniellehttp://www.newmommyrant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214961330691152669.post-89919304169476520952009-05-07T10:44:30.000-04:002009-05-07T10:44:30.000-04:00My sons first tantrum was in a grocery store wher...My sons first tantrum was in a grocery store where all the balloons were blown up and littering the ceiling. The balloons were within reach so I pulled one down and let it float back up. That amused Bobby a lot so I did it a few more times. I then told Bobby it was time to go and started to push the buggy away from the balloons and the tantrum that followed was unbelievable. He screamed and did the stiff body thing where a child stiffens all his or her limbs and back and then he screamed some more. Shopping was over for the day and we left....without the balloon, but he did not want the balloon anyway. Bobby just wanted to see the balloons float to the ceiling over and over. Caving once won't create a monster child. Just gotta figure out how to pick you battles. You'll do fine and Sadie won't always act like that, but you will see it more as she get older. Kids sure know how to test the limits from an early age.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214961330691152669.post-30561446828012069982009-05-06T12:40:16.000-04:002009-05-06T12:40:16.000-04:00Yeah, I see the demon side all the time. I try no...Yeah, I see the demon side all the time. I try not to cave, but sometimes I do. And I try not to yell. But sometimes I do. Sometimes not even walking away works - they just follow right along, crying and screaming the whole time. But I also try to distract them to something else, and/or rationalize/explain why I decided what I decided. Doesn't always work. Sounds like you did your best. ;-)Mighty Mhttp://mightymfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
