My Emma will be 1 on June 2nd and lately she has been throwing the terrible tantrums, slapping, hitting, stomping her feet, screaming and throwing herself on the ground. Is anyone else having this problem? And any suggestions on handling it?

We have a 1 year old doing the same thing. She throws herself down and kicks, screams, hits the floor. Sometimes she'll grab one of our phones and chunk it across the room. We've tried time-out, ignoring her, talking to her. Nothing seems to work. It's a very exhausting phase already. Everyone say's she probably won't grow out of it until 3 or 4. That seems like forever from now.

My son just turned 1 and has started doing that as well. They only thing that I would add to the ignore, is I make sure my son can't hit anything with his head. Like a table or something hard like that. When I am holding him and he throws him self backwards, I slowly lower him to the ground and then ignore.

My son is 16 months now and he has been doing that a while. I sit him on the floor and ignore him. Or sometimes i dont even so that i just ignore him. Its hard but if she talk to them or even shout, you are giving then bad attention. They cant tell the difference. Ty usually stops within a minute or so when i ignore him. xx

my daughter is now 1 yr old but she started throwing tantrums at 8 1/2 months when she started walking i guess bc she was more independant n thought she could do whatever she wants when she starts doin this i just try n ignore it which is really hard sometimes bc i dont want her busting her head open when she throws herself backwards, she also headbutts me which really sucks my lip has been busted about 2 times already but her doc said the best thing is to just ignore her it works somewhat but she still hasnt completely stopped hopefully since this started early it will end sooner

Ignore, ignore, and ignore some more. She is acting out to get your attention or to get you to be upset too. I actually sing a song when my daughter has her tantrums so I can keep myself from acting in anger back at her. My daughter turns 2 next month and her tantrums started around 14 months. I just walk away from her...if she follows me, I walk away again. When she calms down and gets quiet, I ask her if she wants a hug and I tell her that mommy likes to hug quiet babies. Also, make sure to be consistent with meals and naps...I found my daughter's worst days are days that her naps or meals are off for some reason. Cranky, hungry toddlers are no fun!
