Children throw very random tantrums all the time. My niece is the queen of them. She will literally throw herself on the floor, and just scream. You could literally give her EXACTLY what she wants and she still wonā€™t be happy.

So my advice to you is to get used to it. :joy:

Iā€™m sorry, children arenā€™t always super fun(I know mine arenā€™t anyway):roll_eyes::joy:

Completely normal. Donā€™t give her any attention when she does it and she will soon learn that is ineffective. The more attention you give her during a tantrum the more she will think it works.

Sheā€™s a toddler they have tantrums. Sheā€™ll be okay.

Yes, but itā€™s more like mood swings as in donā€™t try to disapline it just support them. They have BIG feelings at this age and donā€™t always know how to handle them.

I donā€™t think smacking is the answer. I do believe in time out. First I would make sure nothings wrong. Little children cannot tell us what is wrong

I use to start saying in a almost a whisperā€¦ā€œshhhhh listenā€¦I hear something listen do you hear itā€ a d if they started again Iā€™d do it againā€¦most time it workedā€¦or knock on the wall and that would work to they would think someone is at the doorā€¦

Itā€™s freakinā€™ awful. Lol Iā€™m a second time mom and have one of each and honestly, imo I donā€™t believe the people who say it gets better/easier. ā€¦ But thatā€™s me.

Let her be angry. She will learn to self sooth, when you ignore her.

I think all kids throw tantrums, not too sure though.

My granddaughter is 14 months. I just try to get her attention on something else. She forgets about why she was mad.

Absolutely normal, but maybe try to teach little one to do some sign language? The basics (eat, drink, potty) will help little one express what she wants/needs :slight_smile:
