Tantrums

My daughter has started to throw tantrums. She’s screaming, throwing things and hitting things. I’ve tried validating her feelings and then trying to offer her other things to do but it only makes her more angry. Has anyone else’s 1 yr old started having tantrums? If so, what are yall doing to get them out of a tantrum? I’m a ftm and I’m just not sure what’s even effective at this age and if she’d even understand.

Teaching no is part of a milestone and they start to understand when they shouldnt do something for what i read dont quote me on This

@sandra yes that’s mainly when she’s losing it is when I tell her no. My friend said it also could be because she’s teething so she’s more sensitive but the outburst kind of just happened over night and completely caught me off guard.

@Ashton and that is also a possibility my lil one is also teething she has her days where she is fussy

I’m noticing the beginning of this too, lashing herself back when I take something from her or don’t let her do something independently (that’s not safe😅) At the minute distraction is working by literally just breaking out into her favourite songs but I know this will wear off. I think just picking them up and moving to another space while holding her until she calms down would be my next move. Any advice from older generations was just to ignore the unwanted behaviour, but it’s hard when they’re so little because they don’t have a clue what’s going on in their little bodies. That being said we are working on ignoring anything being thrown off the high chair for example. If she does it more than twice then I will say no firmly and take it away for a bit

Yep. All normal. My son hates being in the stroller because he wants to be free walking around exploring so anytime we’re out in public and he has to be in the stroller he’s screaming the entire time until we let him out 🫠 He’s started scratching us now too if he’s upset. Best advice is to remain calm but be firm when saying no or not nice etc. they have to learn what’s acceptable and what’s not.
