| My son just turned a year old and he is already showing his bad temper side. He throws himself onto the floor and slaps at the ground and he slaps me in the face when I try to lay him down for a nap. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm a first time mom!! Help! |

| My son is nearing one soon and he has started to throw himself on the ground. Most of the time he's sleepy so I let him take a nap, if it is his way of showing he disapproves of something then I just ignore it. I was tending to it, until my husband pointed it out. It's only been a couple weeks and it's gotten better. I haven't experienced the slap though, so I don't have a suggestion for that... sorry :( |

Hi mahlon
I have never experience the slapping but I do know that sometimes my son will be really wirey when I change his diaper he is 2 1/2 I think it is just a way of expressing themselves it will get better my son doesnt throw himself on the floor cause he can talk therefore he tells me more then like your son can right now. Just make sure he is safe and cant hurt himself and try to ignore it THAT HELPS ALOT !

| My son has started having little tantrums and he is only 10 months. I just tell him firmly "No!" and redirect him. Most of the time it works and he forgets why he was upset. When he slaps, take his hand away, tell him firmly "No!" and if he continues to do it him set him down in a place where he can't get hurt while he rides out the tantrum, such as his crib or in the middle of the room away from furniture. |

Hey Mahlon,
I think every mother on earth has experienced this form of expression from their child, and thats usually all it is, their way of telling you they want or need something their not getting. As far as slapping you just let him know in a firm tone that ( we dont do that ) and when he's throwing himself down let him get it out and then try to help him through his frustrations afterwards. Well, good luck! |

| Hi Mahlon! I'm a mother of 2 toddlers and one thing I've learned is to expect anything every child is different. There are many reasons why a child throws a temper tantrum, but the one thing I try to do is, analyze why? Is he tired...put him down for a nap. Does he not want to take a nap...it's a stage, he'll get over it? Is he frustrated because he can't communicate with you...teach him sign language? Noticing his personality and temperment will help you with what he's frustrated with. If it isn't, it may just be a stage and you just need to firmly tell him what is unacceptable in your house. |

My daughter has started showing her temper and she sometimes hits too. We tried saying "no hitting" firmly, but she just did it even more. Now when she starts to hit or show her temper, I just say "nice..... nice!"
She seems to have got it. She'll start to hit but then its like she remembered and says "nice... nice" and pats our face. |
