14 mnth old tanties

[Belinda1000]

i have a 14 month old DD who is starting to acert herself by stamping feet and even a tantrum when she doesnt get her own way. what is the best way to deal with such behaviour what has worked for you.

I find distraction works the best.

If the tantrum continues.. I usually let ds carry on & when he's done, then I try to distract him again.

Good luck.

No idea how to deal with it, but I'm glad i'm not the only one experienced the TERRIBLE TWOS earlier than expected! :rolleyes:

DD is 14 months too, and she has been doing the tantrum thing since just after she turned 1. As they don't seem to understand reason at this age (mine certainly doesn't), I go for a quick change of venue - pick her up and get her somewhere else, hopefully with something interesting to look at. Of course, it helps if you aren't in the middle of the supermarket or something - with us its usually food related - "no, that's MUMMY'S breakfast" usually brings one on. So I pop her in the other room, or on the lawn or wherever there is something fun for her. I also try to ignore her carrying on, so it doesn't get her extra attention, but that's hard when your eardrums are bleeding.

Good luck!
