It got a little bit better after 4, not as many but the ones he had were doozys. Now at 5 he has one occasionally but we are usually able to head it off or talk him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724644 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:13:46 +0000 ValentineMommy 2724644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1st never really had them. Maybe for a short spurt around 2, but it didn't last long and wasn't often. </p> <p>Ds2 has a temper. Peaked right out of the gate at 18m. He's 21 months now and it's already improved a little bit, as his communication gets a little better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724627 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 09:24:56 +0000 winniebee 2724627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids seem to "peak" young. With my first, Tantrums really started around 18m and got progressively worse until 2.5 or 3. By 3.5 he was was much more mellow and 4-5 has been pretty easy. My second is 28 months and at the peak of tantrums right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724622 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 09:17:10 +0000 autumnlove 2724622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 to 3.5 was bad for LO 2. Lots of whining and tantrums. Still happens but not as bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724570 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 22:40:54 +0000 Corduroy 2724570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 22mo and a 4 year old. Both started around 18 mo. I would say their tantrums today are equal in intensity but LO2 has many more. LO2 has about three 10-15 min lay down kicking and screaming tantrums a day at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724558 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 21:36:28 +0000 travellingbee 2724558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my oldest they got real bad at 18 months, and we're on and off bad until... well they still are at 4. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724544 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 20:53:06 +0000 bookwormmama 2724544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they started revving up around 2.5, but they have been TERRIBLE since January. He just turned 3 in March, so I guess between 2.5-3. They were happening multiple times, daily for long periods for the 3 or so months before he turned 3. Right around his birthday they got a little better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724526 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 19:23:43 +0000 Mae 2724526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo is only almost-3 but there was a distinct change in the severity/length of tantrums around 2.5. they've stayed pretty consistent since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724515 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:38:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2724515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 2.5 before I read the whole question. Tantrums really started in earnest around 2.5. Probably peaked closer to 3, but honestly 2.5-3.5 was extremely difficult. No coincidence, I had a second baby around when she turned 2.5 and then she had a slew of ear infections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724514 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:37:03 +0000 peaches1038 2724514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can tonight be my answer? Meltdown city over here. He just turned 17 months old and I'm scared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724503 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 17:56:25 +0000 Tanjowen 2724503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel 2 years old was easy. Then we hit 3 and had major tantrums and pushing of boundaries for a month or two. It is easing up as we near the 3.5 mark, phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724479 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 16:29:54 +0000 youboots 2724479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not too bad at 25 months but getting worse. Mostly refusing the walk and laying on the ground and saying she's sleeping in public </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724464 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 15:51:21 +0000 Peasinapod 2724464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't vote since she's only 2.5 but so far they haven't been too bad. But now you've got me scared for what's to come!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-tantrums-get-bad#post-2724461 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 15:46:53 +0000 Alba4 2724461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age did tantrums peak? Our 3.5 year old has been so emotional and has at least one major tantrum a day. Just curious when it got crazy for you? </p>
