I just need some advice!! My daughter is almost 11 months and recently she throws a small fit if something gets taken away from her. She doesn't cry bloody murder but she shakes and gets mad.what do i do? Or is this just a phase? Thank you so much ❤
When kids especially toddlers throw fits. It's best to acknowledge that they are feeling this emotion and respect that it is ok for her to feel this emotion. Kids are little balls of energy and sometimes the only way these little humans know how to express their emotion is by these outbursts. My way of handling my boy is to keep a calm demeanor but stand firm. As she gets older and begins to verbally communicate and. Understand what you teach. Begin by asking her how she is feeling. Are you mad? Is it because I did..(...)? Let her know that you understand how she feels and try to explain to her that it is ok to feel these feelings but there are better ways of expressing it rather than throwing fits. Again this is best when they get a bit older and start communicating. I've got two older step kids and. My baby boy. For my baby I take somthing away, stand my ground but remain calm and allow him to have these fits. He doesn't communicate yet so it's the only my way he knows how and I'm not going to take that away from him because it's unhealthy. It may be frustrating for us mom's and dads when the tots throw fits but it's best to remain calm and firm. This works for my family and I hope it helps you.
I don't wanna say it's a phase because kids will do that until they're older lol. I just try to distract my son if he does that. But also trying not to reinforce the tantrums with reward
