My almost one year old ds has started throwing tantrums and they are getting more and more frequent. I thought all this happened when they are two? Is this normal for his age?
He is normally a very placid and happy baby but obviously like all kids will on occasion play up for mummy. Grandma has just starred having him three days a week whilst I work pt, he is as good as gold for her, do you think this has anything to do with it?
He is also going through a huge learning to walk phase. He will hold both my hands and have me toddling all around the house. It starts as soon as he's up, which is fine, but if I even try and put him with his toys he throws an absolute fit. He pushes on me to get down to walk everywhere, if I don't let him he kicks off, throws himself back and cries. This is all fine, if not a bit wearing today because he's tired and still wants to walk, but the amount he has started throwing tantrums has increased.
He is a very aware baby and understands a lot of what I am saying to him.
I suppose he has just figured out how to get his own way? I mean how on earth can you discipline a one year old? I don't think he's old enough, other than telling him no and moving him away when he's trying to grab something dangerous. He even throws a wobbler at this now.
He's good for his dad, his grandma, who couldn't believe it even she saw him behave this way as he is so good. Is this all to be expected at this age?
He is all for me too, only wants mummy over anyone else. I suppose he just feels more relaxed with me to be himself.
Any suggestions or is this all perfectly normal and to be expected at age one?
