Toddler Tantrum or Just New Parenting Skills Needed?
Stubborn I think is Sarah’s new middle name. At a very young age she knows what she wants and most importantly, what she does not want. From a very young age she started to assert her authority on the family with baby tantrums. The ability to communicate with language has not been an issue for Sarah. She communicates well, even with limited speech. She has developed some words to communicate like no, up, this and that.
Non verbal communication has come easily for Sarah. she has a huge open mouth grin when she gets her own way. Sarah usually has her baby tantrum by crying, screaming and yelling if she does not get her way. This is consistent toddler behavior and is an exciting mark of a new stage of development.
Sarah has begun having tantrums a lot earlier than her sister who is now 6. Sarah, who I call the queen of tantrums has had them since she was about 9 months.
I know many parents who love the toddler stage, but are also frustrated with the toddler problems associated with it. Tantrums, yelling, head banging and lying on the floor! It is a wonderful yet frustrating experience to raise a toddler.
