Okay, I am struggling, how do I deal with Wesley's more and more frequent tantrums? I feel like I have tried everything. Sometimes I can distract him, I try to stick with regular times for snacks and meals and always have a sippy cup of water available but it only seems to be getting worse. Am I doing something wrong and/or is this normal at his age?
oh, tantrums are triggered by baby gates (or anything that resembles them- like our gate in our yard), removing him from a dangerous situation (ie away from stairs or playing rough with that cat.), or leaving somewhere he wants to be (like the mall play place) and for other reasons that I am apparently clueless about.
How have you successfully dealt with tantrums at his age? He's not talking and my efforts to teach him sign aren't paying off (yet).
Re: Tantrums at 15 months?
Yep- so is Kellen. Usually when he wants more independence, is hungry or tired. Yet, I have to set boundaries, or this kid would be in the ER every day. GL!
