Tantrums

[chel313]

I’ve just read an old post about this but wondered if anyone had anything new. My second child, 14 month old son is very angry at times, not just food time which I totally get but at any time of day if he feels like it. He bangs his head of the table/chair if we have finished eating, the floor, started biting the table or me if I’m trying to protect his face.
I get at this age it’s quite normal as they are learning and can’t communicate but he’s really going to hurt himself at some stage with how angry he gets. He’s a lovely, sweet, huggy kind of boy most the time just these short bursts. He’s not one to be held and consoled and hugged unless it’s bedtime or he wants so that doesn’t work.
Anyone got any ideas how to get through to him and over this hurdle? My daughter was the complete opposite, so easy so maybe it’s just my turn lol

How's his speech @chel313? I found that they can get very frustrated at this age if they can't communicate very well. Using baby signs with him might help him get his point across, like Makaton which is the system Mr Tumble uses.

Not really any words but definitely a lot of noises, doesn’t even say mama or dada to be honest just yea lol.
Never thought about using signs to be honest, not really sure how all that works but will definitely look in to it and give it a go. Too used to having a quiet good child, he’s a lot to handle lol.
Thank you

Ok so if there aren't any words quite yet, it's worth doing this progress checker.
