14 month old & tantrums

Paloma

My LO has started to have the worst temper! Throws a tantrum anytime he doesn't get his way. He screams, hits, the works. I remove him or distract him & he quickly moves on. Just wondering if I'm the only one or if this is normal for this age??

Just some background...

I'm a SAHM so no daycare

He has an older brother (14 years old)

Doesn't spend time around other kids much.

Thx for your comments...
