experiences please
dd has just turned 1, can walk well and is starting to talk. But by god can she tantrum! all i need to do is say (quietly and peacefully) "NO" with a look at her and she is off. Screaming, lying down on the floor and working herself into a right state. I ignore her totally and turn away, after about 30 seconds i go over to her, cuddle her and distract. they are over toys being dropped, dinner not being hat she wants, not giving her another snack when it's nearly teatime, not putting her in the swing fast enough, not getting her out when she tells me, having crumbs on her hands, oh the list goes on.
am i doing it right? and will she get worse at 2? (please, please no) or will these tantrums just continue?
any experiences gratefully received
