1 year old with anger problems?

Question

My nephew is one years old, he has to be the cutest lil boy I've ever seen! How ever his anger is that of a 30 year old man!!!!! He gets so upset for the simplest things he throws stuff, hits ppl, bites, only when he's mad!
Is it a sign of a anger disorder of some sort at such an early age?
Is it bad to let him "just release his anger"?
Will allowing him to do so have affects on his anger getting worse as he gets older?
Is it normal for a 1year old to have anger problems this severe?

Answer

He literally has no control over his behaviour, a one year old doesn’t. The world is confusing and frustrating for him.

Answer

It’s not a sign of disorder, just bad parenting 🤭 to throw tantrums and be upset every now and again is fine but if he’s constantly angry and biting people then there’s something they’re just not doing right.

Answer

He's 1. They are just learning to communicate and in the process of learning their emotions and how to express them. He's young enough to start positively redirecting him to other things when upset. Or when frustrated breath with him, step aside then come back and re do the task. He's in the learning stages

Answer

...he's a toddler... it sounds like you need to educate yourself on child development and the human brain. They don't have the ability at that age to effectively and appropriately communicate their needs and frustrations. He's not acting out and this isn't bad parenting 🙄 he's just having a hard time communicating. HIs parents need to be actively working with him and promoting good, healthy ways to express feelings and communicate needs.

Answer

This is a combination of acting out for parental attention and being one. I was a kid who freaked out about everything and sometimes I still do...but I know how to behave, politely excuse myself, etc. Little kids haven’t developed that yet. 
So he needs firm rules and love in equal measure and maybe we can come back to disorder if he still does this several years from now.

Answer

I work with one year olds. They are just learning how to communicate, speak, and display emotions. He just needs someone to model appropriate ways to communicate his wants/needs or display his emotions (fruatrations) safely. Children cannot do this on their own, they learn from watching adults and children around them.
When he begins to show frustration, I suggest removing him from the situation, say things like "I know you're upset, but we don't hit, it hurts" or "I can see you want that toy, we need to use our words, not our hands" etc
Does he have many words yet? Sign language also helps little ones communicate as they are learning to speak.

Answer

Sounds like a normal spoiled kid...

Answer

I agree with the other posters that a lot of toddlers display anger rather aggressively. My kids generally weren’t harmful to others, but on the occasion they would hit people or walls, we would take them away from whatever’s they were hitting.  Once in a while, that will stop the tantrum, but most of the time, they kind of have to work through it - so the tantrum would continue in a new location.

Answer

It could be environmental or genetic. Is there anyone else in the family with a similar personality? One of my kids is like that in that they have a hard time expressing their anger. Unfortunately bad habits were learned through a younger relative so we had to deal with stopping the biting and hitting. But the personality of immediate anger and impatience is still there. Which is similar to the personality of younger siblings my husband and I both have. The only advice I have for you would to have everyone help him deflect his energy into something else and to always have snacks around. Hangry toddlers are terrifying lol.
