My dd is 18 months. Whenever ANYTHING goes wrong she throw herself around, and bashes her head on the floor, or on whatever surface is nearer - she has several bruises from the last couple of days, where I haven's managed to stop her. Everything (food, bath-time, etc.) has become a potential battlefield.
When she is not having a tantrum , she is exceptionally affectionate - very cuddly, etc.
What I really want to hear (apart from any red-hot tips) is that this is normal (ish). Two friends of mine said their children, although they may have hurt themselves accidentally during tantrums, did not bash their heads like my dd does.
anyone?
