Answer 1

Yes and it seems like you have a strong willed child, kids even younger than this start to test boundaries, stick to your guns , and use NO when you have too , if she throws a tantrum (at home ) walk away and ignore the behavior as long as she doesn't physically hurt herself or anything else then maybe a time out(2 minutes) would be appropriate, and if your out, you may have to literally pick her up in a bear hug and take her outside or to the car , I once had to do this with my daughter she threw a tantrum i was checking out after groceries and she went full out on me , and i picked her up , told the cashier i gotta go! Drove her home and said if you do this gain you will not come with mommy to the store , i dropped her off at home with hubby , and drove back! Yes it's work and much easier to give up but she didn't do it again, she knew there were consequences, all i would have to say is I'll drive home! and she knew i meant it! LOL Be patient but firm it will pass..

Girl!! I feel your pain!! I'm a first time Mom too with a 14 1/2 month old daughter as well and she has been throwing tantrums left and right since before she was even one!! I still can't get her to stop throwing her head back after telling her "no", or ignoring her, or spanking her!! Nothing works!!!! God be with you!! LOL
Ok really this is where it is super important for us to be mature and ultra patient and understanding of our lovely child's developmental needs. I noticed that she's more prone to tantrums when she's tired, regardless of location. So we have to be a step ahead of the game at all times and KNOW our baby's internal clock for when she's tired and hungry. I love her the most she she is fresh from a nap! She'll do anything I want (diaper change, eat, get in carseat with no fits)! So yeah, be patient and remember she is just now coming into her emotions and has no control so we must stand firm with love.
Good Luck!!

I believe you have. Alot of people told me when i had the same question that alot of kids start the terible twos early. My Duaghter i thought would never do this becuase she was such a good baby never cried always had a smile until she started to relize what toys were and what pushed my buttens. She is only 22 months and if she doesn't get it her way its noones way. I learned that to deal with this you have to let them throw the fit and just go on as if she isn't crying. If she is made becuase she can't touch something of yours take it away and go on as if she was fine about it she will relize that her crying does nothing. I used to think that i couldn't do that becuase i am the type of parent that does not let my child cry if i know what she needs but i found out after trying it ounce that it works. Granted she might try to touch the same object again and you will probally have to go through the same thing but she will eventually relize that throwing a fit does not work or make you angry. GOOD LUCK !

Tantrums at this age or no longer unavoidably outstanding. he's probable throwing a extra healthful of anger simply by fact he knows that he gets what he needs if he does it....desirable? it incredibly is okay. wreck the cycle now nevertheless simply by fact if he's having tantrums at 14 months, pay attention whilst he would be 3, 4 or perhaps 10 years old... He has a tantrum simply by fact he needs something and would't have it, properly enable him cry it out. Why no longer? as long as he's risk-free, enable him freak out. forget approximately him as much as attainable and don't provide him interest. despite you do, do no longer provide him what it incredibly is he needs. positioned it away and that's that! If he starts off hitting or being violent then you definately ought to provide him an afternoon out. take a seat him on a bench or chair, ideally interior the kitchen the place he will pay attention the microwave. Rule of thumb of an afternoon out is one million minute consistent with age of the toddler. provide him one million.5 minutes sitting on his bench and positioned the timer on the microwave, that way he will pay attention it. At his age, you will definately ought to hold him sitting down simply by fact he won't understand what you're doing. i'm able to assure you nevertheless that he will capture on rapidly. you could desire to be organization and calm. Time outs paintings properly and in the previous you recognize it, he will provide up being aggressive. sturdy success with this!

Answer 5

My 14 month old is the same way. He gets upset if you tell him no, or do or say anything negative. Yesterday he cried when two trains collided Thomas the Train. It's all part of the development of their emotions and coping mechanisms. Give zero attention to tantrums and teach your daughter a better way to handle situations as they arise.

And just as a piece of info...I have a 4 year old also and I have to say that 3 was much worse than 2!

Answer 6

I have had the same thing with my 15 month old. I have found that the best technique is to walk away and ignore him. Gradually his little tempers are getting less and less. He still has them and probably will do for a long time, but they only last about a minute if that now. Also when you are with people, ask them to ignore her too, because if people pay attention to the tantrum, she will not understand that it is not acceptable.

Answer 7

LOL, wait till 3's, two's are nothing!
Ignore her, and she will stop. It takes a few times, but she will get it that if you don't respond to her behavior, she will no longer do it.
She is looking for the attention and realizes that you will give in if she continues.
Just be patient.

Answer 8

just cause they're called terrible twos doesn't mean they only happen when the child is two. ignore the tantrums and your daughter will soon get tired of throwing them. and whatever you do don't give in to her when she has one - then she'll think the tantrums work!

Answer 9

Yep, that's what's happening. The best thing is to stay totally calm, and ignore it. If you react, or get upset, it reinforces the behavior because it gets attention. she will grow out of it (around age 21, maybe) so get used to ignoring it.

Answer 10

Sound like the terrible twos to me lol Shes just like that because u have told her no. Good luck x
