Ds has always been quite a sunny soul, getting angry only rarely (although admittedly, quite spectacularly). Recently though, his temper has got progressively worse, and instead of just blowing his top when something particularly annoys him, now it's for every little disappointment.
Unlike his older sister and other children I know, it's almost impossible to calm him down when he loses it. Distraction, negotiation, ignoring him, none of it works. Even if he gets what it was that he wanted, he will cut off his nose to spite his face and fling away the toy/biscuit/whatever in blind fury. We just have to wait till he's cooled down in his own time. Then he tends to sulk a bit and remain clingy for some time.
Looking for advice on how best to handle him! Dd and I are the sort of people who blow up, then it passes quickly and we are back to normal. Dh is unusually mild mannered and he rarely gets worked up about anything. I've not come across anyone with such a terrible temper so I've no experience of how to deal with it.
I fear for when he turns two and starts having actual tantrums, I really do!
