Tantrums at 21 months
Please help, I'm tearing my hair out. My placid, loveable daughter has turned into a mad beastie!!! Over the last three weeks she has developed a desire to paddy and tantrum at any given opportunity, she is becoming a right nightmare!!!!
I've done the whole diversionary tactiv where I try to get to forget her tantrum which worked for a couple of days but now nothing seems to work and I find I'm pussyfooting around her to avoid a confrontation. AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH.....
What does everyone else do? Have your children turned into mini teenagers too or just mine?
HELP!

My lo is 14 months and has been having tantrums like these since just before he was 1!!!!!!! When will it end :roll: !
This morning I took my lo's breakfast away because he had a tantrum when I tried to feed him the last few floating cheerios and difficult milk at the end. I put him on the floor to tantrum put his cereal in the fridge, then had to forcefully dress him mid-tantrum to take his daddy to work. When we got home (about 25 minutes after the cereal incident) I got the cereal back out of the fridge, explained that I would feed him the rest to which he smiled and nodded his head in the style of a Tombliboo.
Keep the faith. It will pay off. xx
