I need your help mama's. My friends son who will be 1 in just a few days started throwing tantrums. She said he throws himself on the floor and hits himself. Do you have any advice if your kids threw tantrums? Luckily my oldest never did. What can she do besides ignore it?
You have to ignore it. They do it to get a reaction because they know it bothers you. My son used to smack himself in the face. We ignored it and now he doesnt do it. He used to curse his butt off😩😩 We ignored it, now he doesnt do it.😊
My one year old has started it already too. Granted she sees her brother (who has ADHD and a severe temper) do it.
My Lo therapist told me that it was something that would go away by its own when she get older. She said to tell her no but with a serious face and ignore her. She said that if I let her know that I will carry her like that or pay attention like that. That she would keep doing it all the time.
Thank you! We both thought it was strange that he was starting them already at just a year.
@nvonehrenkrook, her doctor wanted her to get a therapist but I don’t think she needs one. So he got the therapist from there and she told he that by the time she would get better. Tell her to ignore him and tell him no with a serious face because if she laughs at when he does or react to what he does he will keep doing it.
Thanks ladies. That's what I told her. I wasn't sure if anyone else had any tips or ideas. I'm glad your kids all stopped after a while. Getting more than 1 moms advice is always nice.
