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?
-
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!!
-
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
-
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!
-
Can tonight be my answer? Meltdown city over here. He just turned 17 months old and I'm scared!

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
For my oldest they got real bad at 18 months, and we're on and off bad until... well they still are at 4.
-
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.
-
3 to 3.5 was bad for LO 2. Lots of whining and tantrums. Still happens but not as bad!
-
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.
-
My 1st never really had them. Maybe for a short spurt around 2, but it didn't last long and wasn't often.
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.
-
2 to 4 was bad for us. 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.
