My Daughter Is 16 Months Old Has Horrible Tatrums Help Me Please?

Answer 1

Why is she having these tantrums?
First of all, is she an only child?
Secondly, what is the scenario during these tantrums? Is she being dropped of at a baby sitter or pre-school? Is it during shopping time? Is it during feeding time...or does it seem to happen periodically?

My daughter (now 6 yrs old) is an only child. She STILL has temper tantrums...if she doesn't get her way. She is very opinionated...very obstinate, very STUBBORN. She still thinks that if she has a fit, she'll get her way.

Don't give in. You are the boss.
Unless, of course your child is in pain...?
Good LUCK!

Answer 2

Mine too, crazy how this age is. Mine's been doing it for 5 months or so though. Just ignore her, and she'll eventually stop. Just don't baby her when she does it, don't pick her up, don't give her anything. When my daugther is really bad, I'll put her in her playpen without any toys for a min or so, then she forgets what's going on. Until they are about 2 you can't really do time outs. They don't work yet...so good luck, I feel for ya!!

Also, try to avoid what will set off a tantrum to your best ability. Cause if she does it all the time, that kind of thought process might become second nature, and you don't want that! (I know I don't!)

Answer 3

When my daughter use to throw tatrums she use to hold her breath until she almost pass out. I took her to the doctors because I thought there was something wrong with her and just so happens she did it at the doctors office and the doctor looked at me and stated that my daughter was just being mean and from that day on I use to pop her on her behind and let her know that she is not suspose to do that. shes three now and although she dont hold her breathe she still throws fits. So i throw fits with her and that makes her stopp what she's doing and look at me like what the HE'LL is wrong with you but none the less she dont through fits like she use to. Try it people may look at you like you crazy but just tell them to M.T.O.B mind their own business.

Answer 4

Although I have a two and a half year old who does a whole lot of screaming himself, I usually find that when it comes to tantrums my disciplining if correct usually works for me. Don't feel embarrassed in public to administer discipline, look around, you are not alone. I usually get on my knees and ask him what seems to be the problem or that I cant understand what is bothering him when he yells out to me. If we are out in public I usually tell him to look around and see if anyone else is screaming. When all else fails I then just simply say to him 'this behaviour is not tolerated'. This usually puts an end to the tantrum as at this point he no longer has my attention.

Answer 5

First say "Okay, you have 5 minutes (or whatever time you please) to stop your tantrum and do what your supposed to do or I will take away your toys (TV, fav things, sweets, goodies, ect) for a week" Then walk out of the room and come back in however many minutes you said. If she's still screaming pick up all her toys (or ect.) and put them in a landry basket to be put somewhere she can't get them. Walk out of the room and ignore her till she stops. Then go into the room and re-explain her punishment and why she got it. Say your going to do the same thing next time, except take away something else.

Answer 6

I understand what you are going through my 16 month old is doing the exact thing. I'm finding out that if i put her on time out for a min. or two and ignore her she stops. But then again ever child is different you will just have to try things out and see how they work.

Answer 7

Ignore, ignore ignore her. They only do that for attention. The next time she does it say something like " I know you're sad that you can't have the cookie, but it's not snack time" and walk away. She will get over it on her own. If you keep feeding into this behvior it will only continue. I have 3 kids and am a pro at tantrums.

Answer 8

My son is just about 16 months and I'm having the same thing , but we just have to stand our ground, if you are out and your child is doing this don't get embarrassed just kneel down to there level and say in a strong but loving voice ( if you want me to here you ,you have to talk nice then I can here you) you will have to do this a lot but as they get older they will start to understand.I think it's a just before 2 thing.

Answer 9

I know exactly how you feel. my daughter is 16 months old and throws tantrums. I would ignore her. If she stops then it wasn't a big deal but if she keeps going then maybe something is wrong.

Answer 10

Its very hardship-free for this to take position. My daughter is 3 now, yet at the same time as she become that age it become everyday in which she became pissed off that matches surpassed off. She ought to get so offended she'd pickup inspite of she ought to discover and throw it, or ought to get on her fingers and knees and hit her head on the floor. imagine of ways pissed off you get once you may't communicate. the in hardship-free words massive difference is, you comprehend that is not any longer ideal to target this now. each and every newborn is diverse in dealing with this problem too, for our daughter the added we recognized it and tried to have her supply up, the added aggressive she became. We under no circumstances needed to yet, we were compelled to brush aside the habit and ultimately it stopped thoroughly (now we do self-discipline her at the same time as ideal) fortunately this become only a level and under no circumstances some serious behavioral problem. try some diverse thoughts, like time outs, take toys away, ignore about them or inspite of works proper for you and your newborn.
