I have 3 boys, ds1 is now 4 and he barely had any major tantrums, yeah he got upset and cried a lot sometimes but that was about it.
I also
have dts, they are going to be 3 in October. Dt1 does have sort of tandrums, (well they all do, I know ) He lies on the floor and wails.
But its dt2 who is the little horror. He can kick off for nearly an hour, and we get the works, screaming, kicking, hitting, lying on the floor. He just goes beserk.
Because I haven't really had to deal with this before, even though I have an older child, I am a bit of a novice.
We have tried ignoring, but how can you when they are a danger to themselves. He seems to gain supernatural strength and if we try and hold him we end up covered in bruises etc
On the whole he is a happy very loving boy, but he does seem to take things to heart. His language skills are within normal range for his age, but he is perhaps slightly behind his dt. I wonder if this is connected?
I find it quite upsetting really, and would like to chat to other people who have experienced this.
