Need Advice Posted: 03-08-07 12:42pm
I know that most babies whine when they
don't get what they want, but Ethan does
it pretty badly. He will be 10 months old
on the 12th. Every time we take something
from him, or don't give him something he
wants, he has a little tantrum. I just
wanted to know if this is normal at this
age, and what I can do about it.
Here are a couple of new pictures..
In this one he was getting mad because I
wouldn't give him the camera...
so totally normal, dont acknowledge it
when he does it that might help him to
stop, joseph was like that and throwing
himself on the floor, we try to ignore it
and so far he doesnt really do it to much
anymore.

that's what I was going to say - try to
ignore it as much as possible.
other wise you risk him associating a
tantrum with attention.

awwwwwwww he is so cute.
like the others have said i would try to
ignore it. my son used to bang his head on
the ground when he threw a fit. so i could
not just ignore that.

Both my kids were the very same.
My eldest started it at almost a year old,
between 10 and 12 months anyway, but my
younges- 6 months, I kid you not, I took
the remote controll off her and she went
ballistic, I thought surely she'd not
going to start this already.
She did.
She's 16 months now, and has been all
sunshine and chubby light the whole time-
take something off her though, and it's
WAR.
We try to ignore it, when she was smaller,
we had too leave the room, 'cos it was so
funny to see w=somebody so small getting
so furious.
Didn't really help, but Meh.
Now she holds onto your pants if you try
to walk away-with her little fat hands,
and she's even bitten me a couple of times
(although, I think she was teething and it
was more a two birds with one stone
affair)
Just ignore, give them a dissappointed
look, sigh, move on.
The really understand body language.
they may not Care, but they
understand!!!!!

Mine did, too. It was so scary at times.
He would do it so hard, he would literally
leave marks on his head. Luckily that was
just a horrible phase.
The hardest thing to do is to not laugh
when they throw certain temper tantrums
(not the kind they hurt themselves). My
little one throws some of the funniest
temper tantrums....got to be strong during
those times.

.sam, I think that's pretty
normal...adriana does that too. She has
such an attitude. Lets hope this phase
passes soon!
Ethan is so adorable! He's growing up so
fast, his baby look is completely gone!

anything....But my little sister will be
15 tomorrow....and she still does this on
a daily basis. Just a little something to
look forward to
