How to deal with 1 year old tantrums?

[HotChocolatemarshmallows]

DS has just turned 13 months and has started having strops when he doesn't get what he wants. Crying, gong stuff,throwing himself backwards and flapping his arms around.

I thought the tantrums started later on not this early!
How do people deal with them?

Same here, I didn't realise it all started so early. I am using distraction right now ie no you cannot have my hot cup of tea but here are your building blocks. Sense we'll need to change that soon enough.

I have an 18 month old. I either ignore him and let the tantrum run its course or try to distract him with something.

It depends really. I pick my battles / try to be careful about what I say no to. But if she kicks off unreasonably I make sure she’s safe and leave her to it. Without attention it soon peters out.
