Just wondering does anyone child or almost 1 year old have anger issues , my daughter has been acting out yes at almost 1 , she is starting to get mad and hitting herself , idk if it’s just bc she can’t talk yet and she can’t express her feelings with works but I do try to get her to play peek a boo and patty cake when she’s upset , does anyone have advice ? Yes I do time out as well like her doc says and it does help with her , but any other advice would be helpful.

I’m experiencing the same thing with my 18 month old son. He doesn’t talk much either. I’m not sure what’s going on
I’m experiencing a similar situation with my 12mo. She knows what she wants & throws a fit when she doesn’t get it. She’s also started hitting things/people when she doesn’t get her way.
I’ve heard it’s due to frustration b/c they can’t communicate the way they want to.
My son is 18 months and does this…I think he’s frustrated,cause he can’t talk yet…I try to ignore the behavior and not make a big deal out of it.i give options if what I think he wants
So is this normal ? And any advice on how to control it or calm them down ? Iv tried patty cake peek a boo , I don’t yell at her to stop when she does I just try to say hey it’s ok calm down and play with her it works sometimes sometimes it don’t , she only gets put in timeout if she does something serious, any advice would be great 
Have you tried teaching any ASL? My 7 month old has started using signs and it’s significantly improved his frustration and meltdowns.

My daughter is only 11m she will be 1 this month the 30th ,
It is a frustrating time for them when they know what they want to express but just can’t. This is a time where you teach patience and help them channel their frustration in proper ways. Start by saying, stop and take a deep breath, and breathe with her. You can help her get herself calmed and then talk about the feelings and what to do with them.
They all have anger issues! 
they’ve only just now learned how to even feel anger. 
Talk to her, if she is upset ask to show you. Be patient she is in a age where she is trying to learn about her surroundings and trying to understand why she feels in a certain way. Let her know you love her and want to understand. It will pass but be patient. She is learning to be her.
Perfectly normal at that age. Distraction is the best thing you can do 
punishment is not effective at that age since children can not process the reasoning of why they can not have or do something

Give her a punching pillow and show her how to use it.
Has anyone thought to have the child show you what they want as in point to it
Not trying to scare you…but my friends little boy done this and she took him to the doctor and found out he has autism…he acts out he can’t really talk, he hits himself, he bangs his head on the floor if you tell him no and he is very angry. But like some people say it’s a phase and your baby could grow out of it soon! Good luck to you girl
