Tantrums

Yes :) tantrums are normal throughout the whole childhood. At this stage, it’s your child experiencing a negative emotion (such as sadness over something being taken away) and not knowing how to deal with it. Children cannot regulate their emotions, and our goal is to help them with that. I’d start with basics of acknowledging and naming her feelings “I know you’re frustrated. You want XYZ and you can’t have it. It’s so frustrating.” From there you can go in a few different directions: Comfort - hug, kiss, whatever works for u. Distraction - “You can’t have X because of Y. I can give you A or B instead. Would you like A or B?” Babies also regulate themselves through us, so things like staying calm can really help them. Good luck 🤞my little one is slowly starting showing signs of this at 8 months, so early!

Yeah it’s completely normal unfortunately, going off what ages said, having a sibling/siblings speeds up the process because of the whole sharing, teaching if none can behave with said object no one can have it, and to also speed up the process in teaching just because someone else has it doesn’t mean you do. There’s certain things that will take longer than others to learn, even kids I’ve taken care of that are pretty emotionally advanced for their ages still have tantrums. Kids will be kids no matter the age(s)🫠

Very normal 😭 It only goes downhill from here but you learn to navigate them better. You start to see patterns in their behaviour

I'm having this too 😭 Not sure how to deal with it! So do you comfort them without giving it back or just give it back
