I know that cheese, Please help me out here. I am telling you she is so smart for her age. And I am afraid that she will use it to get her way.

Let her cry it out.. It's normal to have tantrums, you can't give in to those. You can also try distraction. Remove her from the situation, if she continues, let her cry and calm down herself.
Tantrum is an expression of frustration, because they can't say what they want (sometimes don't even know what they want). You can't give in at moments like that.

DON'T SPANK HER. She's still a little young for that. All she is doing is trying to get your attention. Especially at this age. Just let her have them right now. It will might go away it might not as she gets older. When she has a tantrum she probably throws herself to the ground. Most do. When she does move her to an open space where she can't hurt herself on anything. then you walk away but not to far as long as you can see her and she can't see you. She will have it out but it will end. If she has temper tantrums when she gets older then you could warn her about a punishment that is suitable for her age. And that depends on the discipline you believe in. It should be a parent's right to discipline their child anyway they want. Without total abuse.

My kids are a bit older, but we've always used the same method. If they want to throw a tantrum they can do it in their room with the door closed, then they can wait to be invited out of their rooms, I make a point of waiting at least 10-15 min after they have stopped screaming before they can come out of their room. You may want to let them out earlier at that age... If we are out somewhere and they have a tantrum, I take them out and sit in the car and ignore them, don't look at them and don't talk to them till they calm down.

a 10 month old? are you frikn serious? A 10 month old cannot have tantrums. What are you going to do when they reach the terrible 2s?

mine was having tantrum at 7months old! I did not realise it at the time, then I did not want to believe it either! You're not alone!
try to ignore her until she stops. avoid eye contact, or touch. just make sure she's safe and cannot hurt herself to badly and let her scream, kick and bang. when it's over, tell that it was not acceptable behaviour. and do NOT give in!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

One of my nephews was famous for temeper tantrums, so when I babysat him it was a few sharp pops on his diapered bottom, followed by putting him inside his crib to cry it out.

I know EXACTLY what you are going through. My son is 11 months old. He hits, he grabs your face and digs his teeth in, he throws things. And its not just being a baby. He does it intentionally. I don't know how to fix it, I'm asking his doctor at the 1 yr checkup --- I just wanted to let you know that you aren't crazy and you aren't alone! god bless! and good luck!

Ignore it. It's hard but otherwise she probably will use a tantrum to get what she wants.
Good luck.

Ignore them. Walk away and don't talk to them until they can behave again. They wouldn't want to deal with someone who was screaming and throwing a fit and you shouldn't have to either.
