Kind of. They stop being as frequent as they can communicate better. I found either redirecting or explaining that I have to put her down for just a minute so I can do "x" but that I'll pick her right back up. She caught on pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-957268 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 17:35:39 +0000 banana 957268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is almost 12 months and she throws mini tantrums every day! It's so weird for me because my son never did that. He was such a good baby. She gets PISSSED if you take away a toy that she's playing with or if she runs out of her favorite food. We just talk to her calmly and say "Nooooo. No whining. Be nice." She totally understands I think. She just chooses not to listen. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-957142 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:34:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 957142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: thank you! I'm going to try that. I feel like this came overnight. She's done it at least 4 times today. I need to work on it ASAP or else it'll be pulling out my hair before she even learns to speak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-957133 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:32:12 +0000 Sammyfab 957133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tantrums are increasing in our house and they're often because my LO isn't getting his way or he wants something but can't communicate what he wants.</p> <p>For the former, we redirect him the best he can. For the latter, I let him fuss/whine/cry until he decides to show us what he wants or gets tired of whining.</p> <p>I know for us a big reason behind the tantrums is his lack of expressive language skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-957012 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:48:58 +0000 sarac 957012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: My daughter does it more and more - she's 22 months. I think their will just gets bigger and bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-957005 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:46:47 +0000 yin 957005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let my LO throw a fit and talk to him calmly. If that didn't work, then I would ignore him. He wanted the attention. Once I didn't give it to him, he would stop. He caught on quickly and stopped after a week or so. Now 2 year old tantrums are a tad different... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-956979 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:32:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 956979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I was hoping it was just a phase :( does this mean it'll be like this for a few years? I'm not used to this yet ... she was so sweet before! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-956901 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:01:48 +0000 sarac 956901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty par for the toddler experience, I think. Redirection helps enormously for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-throwing-a-fit-advice-needed#post-956847 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:44:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 956847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 13 months old and has started throwing fits. It first happened at the grocery store when I wouldn't let her run around and touch everything. Now she's been doing it whenever I hand her off to DH. We're having a nice stroll one minute, the next she's crying and whining so I carry her instead. When I try to hand her off to DH she shrieks and starts kicking and pretty much going crazy. She's done this multiple times today! I don't know what to do. She did it when I went downstairs to the kitchen, the shrieking and kicking is like she's in pain! But the second DH redirects her attention on something, she's all happy again. </p> <p>Is this a phase? Did your LO go through this? How did you deal with it? I tried putting her down to a corner and slowly walked away when she did it earlier, but then all she did was play with her toys after. I know she's too young to understand, but I don't want this to be an everyday thing. </p> <p>Any advice will be highly appreciated! </p>
