Uniboy has started throwing trantraums, yelling, kicking, pushing adults away, lieing down sobbing and now head butting the floor.
Can anyone reassure me this is a common behaviour phase for that age? My current tactic is to ignore him till he calms down a bit and then pick him up and try to distract him with something other than what ever caused him to melt down. doesn't always work and he can spend an hour bawling because I moved him away from an unsafe situation he wanted to explore.
