Tantrums

Do you stop them ? How?

Or do you just let it be ?...

Josh is a bloody nightmare atm and throws tantrum after tantrum!!! He's such a little drama queen.

The only tantrum Addison has is if I take something away from her, or if I leave the room. She FREAKS!!!

But if they are throwing a tantrum, try to direct their attention elsewhere...it seems to help

Josh is the same... If someone takes something away from him he freaks out like you've hurt him or something! He screams murder and won't stop!

If she's throwing a tantrum I'll cuddle her

BUT, if she hits me or kicks me she gets left to it.

It depends what they are for. Colton likes to bite and will scream and cry after we tell him "NO" or hold his head away, so if he does that (including bite) I will set him in the middle of the room away from me.
If he is throwing a fit because he wants to be held, it depends what I'm doing. If I'm busy I will tell him not right now and let him be. If I'm not doing anything I will just hold him.
If he is throwing a fit because I took something away I just leave him be. Especially considering he doesn't get distracted easily even if I give him new toys, he usually just goes right back to what he had (like our poor christmas tree!!) over and over and over again.

Normally if he has a tantrum I try and see if somethings wrong (needs changing/feed) and if he is just doing it because he is in a cranky mood I will try cuddling him and if that doesn't work I will just leave him to throw a fit and normally he will just go take a nap with his blanket and teddy. Sometimes he throws tantrums when we are feeding him food because we are not spooning food into his mouth fast enough

turbo_mom · Dec 20th, 2008, 19:19 PM

oh dear tantrums already!! better get a hold of them now lol. Angelynn doesn't really have tantrums.. just a bit of a fit if i put her down when she doesn't want to be put down or if she's tired... sorry I can't be of much help

When jays two olders were little he would stick them in a cold shower and it worked for them.. not sure how that would go over with an infant though!!! I hope you get things resolved

Same here. He is just starting to throw tantrums for everything though...Because we don't feed him fast enough, because I wipe his mouth, because I take his bib off... !

Mine both throw tantrums. C more than T. Sometimes because he's pinched something from her in which case I take it back. Sometimes because she's been told "no" or I've taken something from her that she pinched from T. She's quite good at the full on scream and flinging herself on the floor dramatically. When T has a tantrum he storms off and faces the wall. LOL! I just ignore them when they do that, there's no reasoning with them.
