18 month old extreme behaviour

Hi!
My little boy was always very relaxes and happy. Since about 14 months he's become so reactionary.
Every time he's moved from something he wants to do, everytime he has his nappy changed, everytime I remove something he shouldn't have, every time he's unable to do what he wants he screams and cries almost like a horror film. There's no gradual working up to it, its straight away screaming blue murder, even going as far as that 'silent cry' thing which makes him look like he's dying!
Is this normal?
I wonder if its a sign of future behavioural problems?
I feel worried to take him out as he becomes so angry so quickly.
Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

You're describing my DS at 18 months and before... When I have answers I'll let you know. If you're calm, loving, attentive, you're not doing a anything wrong. We've had our second now and she is nothing like our DS. At that age, unless you're angry or neglectful it would be hard for that to be any fault of yours.

Thanks. I can't work out if its just normal toddler behaviour - I've never had a toddler before!

Also describing my 17 month old at the moment screams in bath screams when nappy changing has full on tempers when she can't do something. She's exactly the same. Xx

Thanks for this. Is it normal? I thought this thread might get a few more responses tbh!
