Hello all,
I haven't posted in a long while so please bear with me.
I have a dd who is 8 years old and a ds who is 14 months old.
Dd was a very easy child. Ds to be fair is easy most of the time.
In the last month he has started to get frustrated and throwing tantrums.
He has always thrown things, and i do mean anything! I say no and usually divert his attention.
I am at my wits end at the moment tho. He literally throws himself on the floor every time something doesn't work his way (be it i say no, a toy doesn't move, food isn't quick enough)
He also throws himself back no matter where he is, which usually means he whacks his head and then cries out of pain rather than frustration.
I have tried distraction and also taking him out of the situation but he just carries on throwing himself back, if i am holding him or not. He also gets very cross and flails his arms at me to get off (usually whacks me in the process)
Just feel really lost at the moment, and not sure if this is normal :o(
I wondered if i should place him in a 'time out' place (like a playpen or something) but he seems really young for this.
