Toddler tantrums!

My son just turned 14 months and he has started throwing the biggest tantrums. He screams at the top of his lungs. He throws things, hits and pinches. I was wondering what are some of the ways that other mothers with toddlers have gotten through this stage with their toddlers?

Your son may have strong emotions like mine, he throws bad tantrums and has since that age and hes 2 now. For the hitting I grab his hand firmly and say in a very stern voice ‘Do Not Hit! That hurts!’ And for the pinching I will tell him that it hurts and sometimes I start pinching him at the same time and he like realizes what he’s doing and stops and I tell him no don’t pinch, that hurts. As for the tantrums, I don’t pay him much attention when he does it at home I calmly walk into another room. If it’s in public or in a dangerous place I get him up and tell him No very sternly and explain he could get hurt. I also try to ask him what’s wrong and give him a few choices so that he can put into words what’s bothering him...usually he will repeat one thing I say and then calm down bc he realizes I understand him.

It depends some fits are due to teething and growing pains a popsicle can help with the teething pain. And some fits are due to them being bad, I put my son in time out for 10 minutes. But sometimes the fits are due to growing pains and if you cant get him/her to stop a little bit of medicine, teething gel, and bottle works
