Tiny toddler tantrums... already?!

Question

Our little guy has started throwing what can only be described as full on tantrums if he’s not happy about something. He does this “body melting” where he just turns into jello, wants to throw his head back and flop to the floor screaming. Anyone else getting this? How do you handle it? I️ feel like it’s too early for this haha, good gosh what on earth will 2 be like?!

Answer

My son will do this once in awhile for the weirdest things, usually when I take something away from him. Honestly, when he starts to melt or flop over I just lay him down the rest of the way and walk away from him. He gets over it in 30 seconds or so.

Answer

Mine too! It just started this week. A SCREAM and then a full blown tantrum because I took the tv remote away from him!  I just looked at him in shock like what is this!?!?

Answer

My daughter does the same thing 😩😂 when I try to put her jacket on she hates it! She hats putting on her hat and boots too but I have no choice! It's winter here and very cold!! She flings her body back and her head upside down and wines.

Answer

My daughter was doing that and I would feed into and pick her up and give her whatever it was that she wanted. Her tantrums would last awhile but lesson learned and now I just let her throw herself on the floor and she’s over it in a few seconds.

Answer

My daughter has recently learned to screech at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get what she wants.

Answer

Yes, it’s like it stated over night. Where did my sweet child go! lol but I’m glad it happened now and not last month when I flew alone with him cross country. From what I read it’s them developing their way of being able to show you their emotions and being able to express that they have individual needs and feelings. I hear it doesn’t stop until about 4! 😟

Answer

yep same, i wonder where they learn the behaviour from lol crazy how its an innate response to not getting your way.

🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽. I ignore her if it's safe, seems to work, sometimes. Then there's times when she throws the tantrum standing up, and all I can think is to hold her until they pass. She started to throw them when she started walking. She would lead me one way and I would go the opposite, so that created a meltdown. She's stubborn.

Answer

Having the same kinda thing with my daughter! Only started this weekend.
If I say no to anything or take anything away that she shouldn’t have then she kicks off! She almost can’t calm herself down. 
If she’s not yet in full meltdown mode I distract her but if she is then I leave her for 1 minute then get down to her level and calmly say something like, calm down and you can have a hug. His way I feel I’m not letting her get away with it or get her way but let her have her moment then it’s done.
If she doesn’t calm I just sit and wait and even do often repeat the same words x
