I can recommend you books by Dr. William Sears. I love them!
Here they are:
1. The Discipline Book: How to Have a Better-Behaved Child From Birth to Age Ten by Martha Sears and William Sears
2. The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition) by William Sears, Martha Sears, Robert Sears, and James Sears

Hello, I have a 10 month old also. My daughter has started doing the temper tantrum thing too. I think it is just a phase they are going through. Hopefully REALLY SOON they will outgrow it. haha I think it is because they are trying to hard to let us know how they feel or what they want to do and they just get aggravated. Do you ever feel like you just wanna scream and act nutty at times? Well, they do too! haha It's just that we can't act like that and they can. I wouldn't discipline him when he does that, just pick him up and hold him. Maybe he just wants some lovin from his mommy. If he doesn't outgrow in the next few months, I would suggest taking him to see the pediatrician and see what their advice is for you. Hope things get better soon!!! By the way, you are SOOOO lucky that you have 3 other children that didn't act like this. I only have one child and she has one bad little temper! Take care!!!!! Good luck.

He was born that way!
I have 4 sons and the first and third were calm compared to the second and fourth.
My youngest is a year and a half now and it was right before he turned one that he started showing his temperment.
He throws fits, too.
Tiredness, frustration...it could be from a number of things.
But don't ignore him when he's throwing a tantrum, because at this age and for months to come, he will most likely bang/bump his head and you don't want that to happen!

people the kid isn't even a year old. you can't yell or explain things- he's not going to understand! Probably won't understand the spanking that young either. try to figure out why he's having 'tantrums'- it can't just be no reason. and i mean what do you mean by a tantrum? is he like just crying really hard or doing alot of screaming or what? because i babysat two kids of a friend's for awhile, the older one was always such an angel but the younger one, as a baby, screamed like a little demon. but babies don't know any better, so i wouldn't reccomend any discipline.

Do NOT yell back! It is important that you remain as calm as possible when he acts this way. A parents' bad behavior only reinforces a child's. Talk to him calmly, try to figure out why he is so unhappy, but do NOT give him a lot of attention when he does this (that reinforces the behavior too). It is likely that this is just a phase and he will grow out of this. Seeing a pediatrician to make sure there is not a medical explanation is a good idea too.

He may just be the tempermental sort. That's about when my son started showing his temper. He's 2 1/2 now and starting to show progress in growing out of his terrible 2's.
The best advice I had on this: proceed as you mean to go on. Teach him the rules and give him time-outs for his fits so he can collect himself.

Try to ignore him when these fits start. Once he sees that he cant get your attention when he is having a tantrum, his temper will start to settle again. He will eventually ware himself down, but I admit that its not easy to ignore the screaming fits. Both of my boys had MAJOR temper tantrums... it wasn't easy, but the good news is that most kids outgrow these fits by age 3. Good luck!

Visit a pediatrician. Your child's temper could be a symptom of some serious medical reasons.

My 3rd one thot he would begin acting for hollywood as well. I was so shocked that he would throw himself down while we would be shopping. My then, 89 year old pediatrician told me to simply ignore him and keep walking. So the first time I tried it, I thot i would laugh (without him seeing me of course) and I kept on walking away (not far, mind you) and when he had no audience, it truly worked. He simply got up and followed along. It took 3 times and he decided it wasn't worth his time to do it anymore. Even adults will act if they think Hollywood will call. LOL God Bless.
