My son is 22 months old and he throws tantrums at the slightest little thing too, it`s very frustrating it probably is just like the terrible twos.

Rule out teething (she may getting her molars) and an ear infections before you get too mad (especially if this behavior is new). Try to stay calm and get down to her level and talk to her. Also, make sure she gets enough time outside to play and run around and use up her energy so she'll take a good nap and give you a break. Exercise for our 2 year old has been a good remedy to her tantrums. Some days though... nothing will work and it will test you to your limits. Just try and keep calm and she will hopefully follow your lead but most likely will not! :) Welcome to the terrible two's and three's!

dont worry too much she is trying to work out who is boss i had the same problem but my little girl is now 4 and she is ok. All i did was attached a stair gate in the living room so when the gate was shut she couldnt get out. removed all objects that she may have hurt herself with and when the tantrum started i would shut the gate and leave her in there and i would go into the next room so i could still keep an eye on her but she didnt know i was there. i know it sounds a bit harsh but it was better then smaking her. when she realised she wasnt getting my attention she stopped. make sure you give her lots of praise when she does something good. good luck

My daughter recently went for her 18month check. I explained to the health visitor that no matter how sunny she seemed now, if she went into tantrum mode she is completely different. She bangs her head off of the floor,walls and doors and if that doesn't work then she hits,bites and pinches me. My health visitor explained that because my daughter is advanced she gets frustarted just like she would at the terrible twos stage. She will soon grow out of it and if you ignore the tantrum your shild will stop. My health visitor said to jsut distract her attention or to leave her on her own if she goes for me. I also have the most amazing book called Toddler taming and I swear by it!!!Plenty of usefull info there for every kind of tantrum!

Depending on how you handle the situation she should grow out of it. You have to pick your battles. If she throws a fit over something tiny (she wants milk instead of juice) walk away. If the tantrum doesn't get what she wants she will get tired of it. If its a big deal stand firm, never let her get what she wants because she cried about it. I tell my kids I don't understand whining-talk and as long as you are patient it should work. Even my two year old understands that if you cry at mommy you don't get what you want.

I doubt it. The terribles twos are just about the child learning what buttons to press, seeing how far they can go...and as soon as they know that mommy means business, it'll stop.
You just have to ignore/distract as much as you can, but remember that you have the right to discipline however you need to when it is necessary.
And hold on to the fact that following the terrible twos comes the timid threes...
Be strong in your mommy role, and she will stop the bad stuff soon!

My girls can be like that, i think its just the way they are sometimes. My eldest is quite moody bless her she is 6, but she is also adorable clever happy and fantastic. The bad with the good, i suppose. Nobody is perfect

Make sure you keep her in a good routine especially at bed time, and make sure she is properly disiplined(watch super nanny for example!) Who is to know if this will carry on if you are finding it hard to take or out or generally find it hard coping with her you can ask your gp to reffer you to a child behaviour psychologist. Good luck with youe little chica! x
