Hello. I wanted some advice/tips from other mommies. My son is 1 and he acts like no is the end of the world. He throws FULL tantrums, will grunt, scream, and hold his breath if i tell him no or move him from something he’s not supposed to have.

Ignore it. Praise him when he’s behaving well. Same thing with my youngest. He’s 12 now and most laid back kid ever.

My daughter will be 2 in May and she does this. I ignore it but I make sure she doesn’t throw herself back to hurt herself. (I get scared if she hurts herself especially her head) but other than that I ignore it so she will learn that no means no

He’s a typical 1 year old
I used to laugh and walk away. I know that’s not what the "experts " advise. It worked for all 5 of mine

Normal. Remember the can only hold their breath so long once they pass out there going to breathe again, horrible thing to say but that I’ve known a few kids like that. 🤦Usally blowing in the face lightly makes the take a breath n

walk away and ignore his tantrum, which, by the way, is his design for attention.

Start sitting hi. In time out until he is quiet. Tell him when he is quiet he can get up. If he gets up while still throwing his fit put him back on time out spot until he is quiet. Just keep putting him back until he gets quiet. Babies are a lot smarter then people think they are.

It’s the age my daughter does this around my bf because she knows shell get away with it because daddy isnt firm with her only mom and shell even naje herself puke I just walk away and ignore it
My one year old daughter throws her self onto the floor when we tell her no or take away something she knows she’s not suppose to have…I seriously can not do anything but laugh at her because it is so dramatic and funny…I think it works though, she only does it for a minute tops and then she’s fine lol
When at home I ignore it and when my daughter stops I let her know that what she is doing is not acceptable. When out and about I get at her level and calm her down and try to distract her from what she is throwing a tantrum about. She’s almost 3 and it has worked well for her, but they are young kids and can’t guarantee it will work all the time

Don’t respond to it. Just keep to your guns. This is normal. He’s testing boundaries and seeing your responses. If you respond to his tantrum, he’s going to escalate to try to get his way. This is likely the next year or two, depending… but you’ll weather through it.

Time out my foot. A light smack on the bottom will get his attention immediately.

I had mine focus on his breathing when he was throwing fits. It took a couple weeks but people are so impressed at how fast I can stop a tantrum by telling him to take a deep breath in and out.

Ignore it. Let him scream. He ain’t gonna hurt himself. Hold your ground. You say no. You mean no! Don’t let anyone watch him that will give into him and just give him what he wants (grandparents are the worst about it) it will make it 10 times harder on you I promise.

Sounds easier than it was to get him there. But patience and ignoring his “demands” until he communicated them in a way that doesn’t resemble a gremlin lol.
I enjoy the tantrums from my 1 year old coz they are nothing in comparison to my 10 year olds tantrums

Let him pass out 
. You have to not back down. He will grow out of it, but until then he has to learn that YOU are the boss, not him.
My mom used to say “do you want me to throw a fit?” Or better yet she would throw a glass or cup of water in my face… Cruel yes but it worked.
Don’t respond my daughter was older I locked myself in the bathroom turned up the radio had my coffee and read a book

This is every 1 year old ever! Just be consistent. Mine is almost 2 and is strong headed and still throws a fit when told no but now mostly when he’s tired so consistency helps
You stock to the no and don’t give in, he is only a baby and trying to see what it will take to get his way which is normal. Walk away and let him pitch his for alone so he can see that he is not winning.
Ignore it. If that doesnt work you can try my personal favorite : throw an identical tantrum until they’re done. I use this all the time and it works like a charm

I broke mine before he was 2 he was pitching a fit in the floor laying there kicking and screaming I told him when he decided to stop to find me so he could receive his punishment he looked like this isn’t how this is suppose to go dried it up and 2 mins later said he was ready for the time out chair… he is now 19 and hasn’t pitched one since. The more they see it bothers and scares you the more they will do it!

It’s vital normal at one they are learning what is ok and boy Ok they also don’t really know how to express their emotions such as he might be scared or upset but doesnt know how to express it properly yet. They learn but it takes time mama don’t fret it won’t be like this forever
We dont negotiate with terrorists is what my mother says when my son tries to hold his breathe in response to being told no. Lol best response ever

Be consistent! If he screams when you are trying to keep him safe ignore it.
Try to switch attention to something else. If the tantrum dont quite let him have the tantrum and walk away. The more attention you give it feeds the tantrum.

My daughter is the same age. She throws tantrums. I always ignore the tantrum and calm her down with a focusing activity. It’s helped a lot to show her how to handle her emotions.
Ignore the tantrum. As long as he’s in a place where he can’t harm himself or others then a tantrum is just for attention. Stick to the no and he’ll get over it.

Let him throw them… he will be fine
It’s normal for kids to go through this. My daughter did the same. I usually ignored it and walked away and take stuff she’s not suppose to have: don’t give in and let him play with something because it’s gonna keep him quiet. My daughter now doesn’t freak if I take something away she’ll just go on to the next thing. Although she still has tantrums it’s a lot less then it was when it begin! Hang it there mama, it’ll get better 
just stick to your guns and remember you’re the parent!
I don’t say no. I say things like “Yes, you sure want that tractor there, don’t you? Maybe we will get it one day, but right now we have to get milk”
If my little ones are a bit temperamental I usually dial it down a notch. Take a minute to try to understand why she or he are angry or antsy. They are both absolute delights out shopping. But mornings or getting ready for things are where mine can test me sometimes. Started me thinking that maybe it wasn’t them, but me… That because I was rushing or stressed, they didn’t feel comfortable. So I just take a deep breath, sit down and talk. Or sing. Or play. It works every time. I include them as much as possible. “mommy needs to hurry a bit, can you help me fetch baby sisters coat?” - “thank you for helping me, now I can help you with your toy”…
Also, a 1 year old will get very frustrated because they are often misunderstood. They can’t voice it yet. So voice it for your child. “oh my, I bet that was difficult… Hard…” - “I know how bad you want that toy, but it isn’t our toy”… That way your child knows that you understand and feels less frustrated.

He is 1 that’s what 1 year olds do
dont react to it just stick with youre original intent and be consistant dont let the tantrums win cause if you give in he will know if mom says no i can flip out and she will say yes… redirect him once he realizes you wont give in…
Most 1 year old do this
I had a friend who’s son would hold his breath and the pediatrician said let him. He’ll pass outthen start breathing. She did that several times and he quit
Let him walk away it will show him you don’t give a shit
This is what parenting is ! This is normal wait till 3 and enjoy lol
And ignore them. Legit just walk away and dont give them any attention
It takes two to argue!
don’t give in to him stay strong walk away he will understand sooner or later that throwing a tantrum wont work if you don’t let it
You can try redirecting instead of telling them no. It works a lot better for my son. “Lets play with this toy instead”

Welcome to toddlerhood lol.
Can try to redirect. I found with my 7 kids that sometimes you have to ignore the tantrum and they’ll stop.
Redirection and options depending on the situation. Of they still throw a tantrum just ignore it. They will learn quick they don’t get what they want that way.
With our daughter we would distract her with other things like something she can have or do or or show her something else. Now that she’s 2 I do more of the ignoring, even sometimes walking away but I still try to move on to something else and she forgets about it.
He’s a little person trying to communicate. Keep redirecting him. He will get the picture.
Because he’s 1!!! This is normal!!

1st, redirect. If he’s so worked up or focused he wont redirect, then ignore and walk away. But every time you play into the drama, you feed this monster.

When he throws a tantrums. Just walk away . He’ll stop
My 3 yr old daughter will throw a fit and throw up.
It was as simple as arguing with her big brother over going to the park or going on a walk. 
Completely normal. My almost 2 year old still does this. Definitely don’t give in. Try distracting with another activity or toy. That usually works for me. If it doesn’t, you may just have to walk away.
I just get down to my boys level and explain why he cant do something, and then distract him and divert his attention elsewhere, If I say no, I say like no touching, just looking, or no climbing, you might fall. As long as he has warning and I dont just take him away from what hes doing, hes great

Ignore it. Only thing that will fix it. He will learn that throwing a fit and doing all that extra will not let him get his way.
That’s normal behavior. Don’t give in. Small children test limits to learn what they can get away with.
Tantrums are biologically normal. Their amygdala is undeveloped and so they are incapable of regulating their emotions, so anytime they experience an overwhelming feeling, they go into fight or flight mode.
He is obviously frustrated and because he can’t communicate with you in words, he shuts down. By ignoring him or hitting him you are sending a clear message that you are not going to be someone he can trust or find support from, and he will not learn empathy or coping mechanisms when stress arises. Respond to how you would like to be treated in a difficult situation. “I can see you’re mad. You want to touch that but it’s dangerous.” Then re-direct because that’s the only thing that’s going to work until he’s about 3. Offer him another activity or something else to hold.
Get use to it my 6 year old still does that when I tell her No too. Time outs don’t work, taking things away either an grounded her too don’t work. I haven’t finger out anything else to try yet.
I hate when people say don’t worry about it they’ll out grow it!!! No they don’t. They just grow up to be little monsters. I know this from experience as a former teacher . I seen the difference between children who were spanked and children who weren’t. My son was 2 the first and last time he threw a temper tantrum in public. I asked him very nicely to stop and when he didn’t I asked him to get up and come with me to the bathroom and in the bathroom I gave him a spanking . He never did it again. After that all I would have to say is you want to go with me to the bathroom. Nope.

lol, temper tantrums never go away but you can use this as an opportunity to start teaching him acceptable temper tantrums by making it clear hurtful things are not acceptable. Also , they hate it when they lose your attention so don’t be afraid to try ignoring him or walking someplace where you can see him but he can not see you. beware though cause sooner or later you will be copied 
Don’t worry… They continue it for the rest of their lives in varying degrees… Lol.
If he isn’t gonna hurt himself ignore it. You could try the “use your words” thing but… I’ve had little success.
I have five kids… 14 to 4. The only one that rarely has a tantrum is the one daughter.
And…she’s the baby. Make of that what you will…

Has anyone ever seen
the Andy Griffith show where Opie sees his friend throw tantrums to get what he wants? So Opie tries it on his Pa who just gives him a weird look and asks… what are you doing? He says kicking and screaming … and his Pa says… well, “ don’t get all dirty”. He doesn’t give in and gives him little attention.
1 yr old is different… but, still don’t give in to tantrum, don’t reward negative behavior.
Once the behavior is acceptable… calm and happy… reward THAT!

When my brother was little he held his breathe for a tantrum. My dad threw ice water in his face and he stopped. I’m not saying to do that but ignoring doesnt always help either. Because they see u walking away and they follow and get louder to get the attention. With my kids I did spank them on the butt through the diaper and told them no if it came to that. But they knew I wouldn’t give in either. Consistancy is the best thing. If they know u mean it they wont do it or if they do they know they will get introuble…

Well he isn’t able to talk… he wants to communicate but can’t express himself… thus the tantrums. Try to take the time to figure out his needs and desires… if he throws a tantrum; just let him know you are sorry he’s upset; hold him, sit with him till he calms down, etc…

This is pretty common. We would ignore our daughter in stores and start walking away, other times we would just take her outside and put anything special that was for her back on the shelf. If nothing else, she’d scream it out in the car and eventually fall asleep. Do not give in even if it’s easier right now, you’ll end up paying for it later
Try to distract him with singing a song, toy or something else thatll take his attention away from why he’s throwing a tantrum. I was given this advice as well for my 1yr old and it works!

If he has a tantrum in a safe place, walk away. If he doesn’t have an audience it takes the steam right out of his tantrum. Walk away and you will find that the tantrums lesson.

Normal unfortunately and it’s hard and frustrating. Make sure you stand your ground and do not give in! Once he sees you giving in he will walk his little feet all over you. The negative attitude and attention is not how you get what you want.

My niece would hold her breath when she didn’t get her way and the doctor told her mom to let her. If she passed out, she would start breathing again and she wouldn’t do it anymore… worked. 
If he throws tantrums just walk away and ignore eventually they will stop your the boss they are just learning and testing there feelings and boundries

Consistency. It happens at that age it’s completely normal. They will grow into bigger temper tantrums as they get older.
Put him in a room where it is safe and allow him to have his. IRNORE IT. Just let him know when he is done he will be able to come out. I did this with my nephew who was insanely out of control with his tantrums and his 1 year old sister. Their tantrums at 1st lasted about an hour… After a month working with them their were only 5 minutes they less…

Ignore his outbursts, as long as it’s safe to do so. If you react he’ll continue to act like that. Eventually he’ll see it has no affect on you and he’ll stop doing it.

Walk away don’t interact they will get over it stay strong
Ignore him and eventually he will stop. Sounds like he is used to getting his way.
I always cried back and did the same thing my kids did and it made them stop .
Shoot I’m 46 and still throw tantrums.
Sounds like he needs a spanking.
