Quote From: annieceaMy son is 13 months old and is full of personality. Compared to my sisters baby who is 17 days older than chancey (my son) he is a really good baby but when he doesn't get his way he shows out and I mean bad! kicking, screaming, and crying. He throws his body backwards onto the hard floor hitting his head, or if I'm holding him he'll throw his upper body side to side almost fallin himself out of my arms. When I go to change his diaper he kicks me and tries to turn over on his stomach. I have to fource him to be still just so I can put a diaper on him. I've tried popping him on the butt, ignoring him while he screams ,and I've even put him in his room to let him cry it out so he want upset other people in the house who are tring to watch t.v. or eat dinner. His temper is so bad I hate to take him to friends houses because I'm not sure how to deciplin him. Got any advice?
My son is almost 8 months old and he to has started acting out with tantrums. He also throws his head or upper body backwards when you are not expecting it which has led to his head hitting the floor. Changing the diaper and doing the ole "flip over" deal in which in order to change that diaper you need the help of a second person. I have witnessed him getting mad and doing what could be seen as angry/frustrated behavior, for example he will give out a scream which sounds angry, and his arms will move about as if hes frustrated or mad, I was putting it off as maybe hes teething but I should probably consider the probability that he is expressing himself, and if this is the case, he needs to learn now while he is still little that this is not an appropriate way of expressing oneself. So after reading a reply from one reader they suggested ignoring the behavior completely and this would show that basically acting this way will get no response from anyone so they will stop. I am going to give it a try
