Hmm perhaps look into baby sign. It really helps toddlers express and communicate that keeps them from getting frustrated. This is what I did for my younger brother when he started making very strong demands and cried over a lot of things. It turned out he was frustrated because he couldn't get what he wanted across with just saying it or trying to show us.

@princessmama, I doubt it I mean I think he's a little young to learn things from TV and he isn't around other kids

Could he have learned the behavior from someone or tv?
