Dd is just 18 months, and over the last couple of weeks has started having crying fits/tantrums. There is absolutely no reason for them, and nothing I do helps her to calm down. <br>She cries/screams/kicks for about ten minutes, pretty much until she's exhausted herself, and only after she's got to the end of it does any cuddling work. I am loathe to put it down to just being a tantrum - it's not like me saying no is setting her off, it can be literally anything. This afternoon she woke from her nap crying and carried on from there.<br>I can't see that there's anything hurting her, and I can't think what else it can be. She had lunch shortly before her nap today, so she can't have been hungry. <br>Has anyone got any advice? It's awful to see her so upset and not be able to do anything about it <img border="0" src="/emo/te/3.gif" alt="sad"> Maybe it is just tantrums, in which case I still haven't got a clue how to handle it really, as ds never had them.
