Hi,
My beautiful daughter turns 1 on Thursday. For the most part she is brilliant but over the last 2 weeks she has started throwing tantrums.
The tantrums never last too long (although we had a 15/20 min one this week) but involve very loud, very angry crying when dd doesn't get what she wants.
As an example dd likes to watch nursery rhymes on YouTube via the tv. I showed her them once about a couple of months ago as she loves nursery rhymes but now she wants them on all the time. I know she wants them on as she picks up the remote controls and points them at the tv and then gives them to me as if to say put the tv on. When I take the remote control she does the actions for some of the nursery rhymes to tell me that's what she wants to watch. I like to limit Dd's screen time to about half an hour a day so will often say no but this will result in massive tears which would be immediately silenced if i put the tv on. This is just as example but happens over various things quite few times a day.
Just looking for some advice as ever is best to do when she is throwing a tantrum as she is still v young and I can't reason with her just yet.
Dds receptive language is excellent and I'm an wondering if this is part of the problem? What I mean is she can understand most of what we are saying to her but she can't express herself to us yet (only has 3 words with meaning dada, Peppa and baba did baby) and is maybe frustrated by this?
Hoping this is only a phase and she will grow out of it soon? I thought the terrible two's were a long way off but they seemed to have started a year early In our house!! Help!
Thanks
