My son is fifteen months old. He is, as people describe him, a happy little boy, generally always smiling. However, he is quite stubborn and strong willed. He throws temper tantrums, mostly when tired or when he cannot get his own way. For example, being taken back into the house when he's been out playing and he wants to stay outside, or having something taken from him for a reason or another.
I expect the odd temper; he's a baby and they're not massively known for good communication skills!
But... when he is in a real temper, he will do a few things. He will either go rigid, throw himself on the floor and scream/kick his legs. Or, he will throw himself back (or forwards) and whack his head on the floor. He's also hit his head on a wall in temper.
He had a review with the HV and I said I was concerned because of his temper. They said that it was nothing really to worry about because "children cannot communicate verbally and this is how they can react".
I am worried though. His older sister was nothing like this, she was always even tempered.
Even the CM has said she's never known a child to have a temper like he does.
Do I go back to the HV... discuss again as I don't think they took my comments seriously, or just accept he'll grow out of it, and try to limit the places he can hit his head on?
