Tantrums already?

Question

Hi Jan 2020 Moms! Is anyone else’s 12-13 month old starting to throw tantrums? When my little guy doesn’t get his way, he will lay down on the ground and just sob and then when I pick him up he is still super squirmy until he gets what he wants or is distracted by something else. Anyone else going through this?

Answer

You need to put a stop to that fast before he becomes older and it gets worse. They do that because they know you will eventually give in. When they act like that tell them that is not nice behavior and your not going to respond to it until they can compose themselves. When my daughter was that age she tried doing that until she noticed that I was ignoring her and not giving her any attention when she did that so she stopped doing it after a couple of times. I told her if your going to act like that then I’m not going to listen to you right now and I’m definitely not giving you what you want. 
When they throw tantrums and you give in to them that is only rewarding their behavior and telling them that it’s ok to keep acting like that

I swear my 13 month gives more tantrums than my 2 year old. My oldest never really gave tantrums and when she did she got over them super fast. My youngest he will throw himself on the ground and scream if he doesn’t get his way and continues to do this till something distracts him

Answer

My 13 month old will scream and yell and throw his head back when he doesn't get/do what he wants.
He's also testing a whine that sounds legit like crying, but the face he makes is sooo fake. Lol. He twists his mouth up and squints his eyes, but if I tell him I know he's faking it, or mimick what he's doing he stops and looks at me like, " Wtf mom?!".

Answer

My girl is also getting more, hmm..assertive 😅😂
I'm reading about authoritative parenting approach as an option for addressing tantrums. We'll see how it goes

Answer

Yup that’s exactly how my son is he’s 1 also! He’s throwing tantrums and won’t stay still he also climbs up on chairs and slides off of the bed and runs around and when I say no he cries and pouts till I give him what he wants and shakes his head side to side till he gets what he wants lol. He thinks I’m playing around and starts laughing and smiling when I tell him no he’s such a handful lol and has so much energy especially at night right before bed!

Answer

Yes! Since like 8 months. We ignore them and distract her.
