I think this is the first glimpse of the "terrible twos" !
My 20 month old ds (pfb) has some big tantrums sometimes, usually I just ignore or distract him which works well but over the last few days hes started hitting his head on the floor or wall while hes tantruming! Today I put him down for his nap at the usual time and he started hitting his head on the side of the cot and is now covered in red marks on his forehead!
I don't know how to deal with this, I can't let him hurt himself but if I give in to him that will just give him the message that tantrums will get him what he wants.
Any advice would be gratefully received, I feel totally out of my depth here!
TIA
