My 15 month old has just started having tantrums - either freezes on the spot crying or falls to the floor. I was hoping that my 3 year old might be coming out the other end of the terrible two's but not yet! My 5 year old is usually pretty good thank god! Trying to remain calm is my advice - but it is far easier said than done xA Strong Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121247746854621323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409335000355145842.post-78273045095760404602013-02-08T19:53:59.167+00:002013-02-08T19:53:59.167+00:00Haha!

We do talk to Connor a lot, and he does chatter away, it's just very stressful to watch him so upset, I definitely agree with the frustration, that tends to be the main emotion, thanks for the advice, I'll stick with it! :) xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912287904774959340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409335000355145842.post-78768751174745735732013-02-08T13:36:45.817+00:002013-02-08T13:36:45.817+00:00Keep talking to him.

Remember he can understand a lot more than you might realise, and certainly far more than he can say, and the way he'll gain language is by you continuing to talk to him in simple phrases and words. Tantrums are almost always due to frustration. Think about other ways to stop his behaviour rather than simply taking things off him because all he sees then is that he's lost something. This is the terrible two's, it starts earlier than 24 months, and as he begins to understand more about the world and can explain himself better, they'll get better. I've heard they usually stop entirely around the time the child moves out....Jenny at The Brick Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090208734161519771noreply@blogger.com
