Tantrums and screaming

Is this normal for this age? He throws a tantrum about crazy things.....like today he needed to go to the bathroom so I took him and then he threw a fit because he didn't want to go to the bathroom!!!! . He just screams and throws himself down and nothing I do stops the fit until he is finished. I don't know what to do!?!?! Anyone else? Is this normal????

Omg my son is like this too!

Don’t try to do anything to stop it. Just sit and wait it out and be present. console/reprimand?/discuss the situation after he is called down. They will get shorter and shorter when you don’t try to talk to him while it’s happening and just let it happen.

Toddler hood is fun huh? Lol my son does this too but quickly gets over it.

Super normal and expected. Reading more around child development can help you feel more prepared for the different changes as well as insight around brain development and how the emotions may seem to be “crazy” to you but it’s a big deal for them. The book the whole brain child is really good at describing how to help navigate the big feelings by connecting with their emotional side first before trying to fix or seek a resolution

Fortunately, when your baby screams, it's at home, whereas my baby's cries are heard outside, possibly by half of my street and neighbors.
