My 1yr old DS has recently started getting very frustrated and angry if he's told he can't do something e.g. last night he walked up to the tv and started hitting it with both hands causing it to wobble, my DP said 'no' which only caused him to do it even harder and harder until my DP had to get him away from it and he started crying and screaming and wouldn't let us hold him.
It's just an example but he does it a lot with lots of things the more you tell him no the more frantically he tries to do it, and I'll admit sometimes I've raised my voice at him a little as I get frustrated especially if he could hurt himself trying to do certain things.
He throws a lot more tantrums as well he'll arch his back and try and bump his head on things and when he's crying like that and you try to pick him up he tries to slide back down and then cries even worse and lays on the floor.
I read up that this is a phase but I was just wondering if there's a better way of going about it to try and minimise the bad behaviour? Maybe a distraction technique to get him distracted from the thing he shouldn't be doing...
Anyone going or went through something similar?
