Okay, I need help. DD is 18mo and has just started the tantrum phase. My Mum says I should ignore it, easy at home but not when we're out and about. They're not just about big things either, the slightest thing will set her off. She had some banana bread at lunch time and spent the afternoon bouncing off the walls, I think it must've been the sugar.
When I ask her to do something she shouts "NO" and stamps her feet. It's actually almost funny but I feel like I shouldn't laugh at her.
I had PND after she was born and I found she would react to my temper, so I am now very carefull and keep a cool head when she's acting up. I don't know if she's trying to push me, I just think she's too young to be manipulative.
Help, I really need advice.
