DS is almost 18 months old, and is one of the cutest things on god's green earth. very sweet, smart, huggable and loving.
around about a month ago he started having tantrums- usually when he wants to have his way and doesn't get to do so- he would just cry and cry, scream his lungs out, bang his legs, grab onto something, go into a fit, and generally seem like he's having a breakdown
today was an all-time record: 45 minutes of screaming! screaming, kicking, arching his back , chocking on his own snot, almost vomiting because he was crying so hard, etc.
I tried hugging him, ignoring him, talking to him in a calm&low voice, reasoning with him. nothing worked. only when it seemed like he's had enough, did he stop crying.
please, wise women, shed your divine wisdom upon me- what to do?!
