My son just turned one two weeks ago and just started throwing these tantrums. He is very loved. My husband and I never ignore him. We always play with him, praise him, and give him all the love that he needs. He just started walking on his first birthday, so I am wondering if these temper tantrums are coming as a part of his "independance" of crawling? When my son begins to throw these screaming fits he starts smashing his toys and I don't yell at him, I just simply say firmly, "NO." He looks at me and then starts screaming. I just walk away and let him cry because i am afraid that if I cater to his screaming fit that it will only allow him to keep on doing this. Is this wrong? I feel like I am being terrible? My sister in law and mother in law think I am being wrong for letting him cry during his temper tantrums, but I do not want this to become a habit to him. He is a great baby otherwise just he has these fits. Am I being wrong for walking away and letting him cry?
