The boy hates it just like all of us do. But the one thing that helps him is having a toy to throw. Yes, I know! I am that Mom! The one that is constantly apologizing for a buddy (paci) flying into someone or a ball. But hey, it keeps me sane so I flow with it there.<br /><br />Also at home when he wants something especially food that we are eating he throws major fits. He is obsessed with bigger foods and screams like the exorcist until he gets it. In this case, we obviously feed him. <br /><br />Other times he will throw fits if I put him down or etc. I honestly just ignore his crying and he quickly stops. Bryar is not a baby that likes to be alone. CIO just does not work at bed time for him. He gets so mad and crys so hard that he throws up. Although, he has never thrown a fit at any other time that is like that. He is already at the age of seeing what all he can get into though. We are constantly having to tell him that things are not for him. It's so hard to get to know what works and what does not work for kiddos. Since I have started babysitting, I have realized just how hard it is to know every childs little quirks that work for them!<br /><br />As I always say, Keep Calm and Mommy on ;)Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327193222208177195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-90530653683564899942012-11-19T17:22:10.431-05:002012-11-19T17:22:10.431-05:00Jade occasionally gets offended when we offer her ...Jade occasionally gets offended when we offer her water/milk/food like you are mentioning, and we just calmly put it away after she pushes it away from us. She also does this thing sometimes where she lays face down on the floor and cries. We pretty much just ignore it now, especially if it appears that she's doing it for attention or no good reason. I honestly think it's just that she's frustrated that her little toddler mind can't communicate with us! Other times, we'll calmly pick her up and console her, especially if we think she's throwing the fit because she's tired or hungry. Let's face it, I sometimes want to lay on the floor and cry when I'm tired and hungry too. :)dave and jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277222638144836179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-24919764999767051902012-11-19T09:17:57.087-05:002012-11-19T09:17:57.087-05:00Oh my goodness - Harper & Peyton would be the ...Oh my goodness - Harper & Peyton would be the best of friends!!!

She also likes being around other kids. But if she is tired or hungry? Game over. I can't believe she is talking! Emily isn't really talking yet.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428264346128137328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-80292659957935383522012-11-11T14:37:10.526-05:002012-11-11T14:37:10.526-05:00Shooo.... reading about Harper is like remembering...Shooo.... reading about Harper is like remembering Ivy at that age! :) Ivy was strong willed and started tantrums (following by time out) at about 13 months. I found that the smallest "out of routine" really messed her up. She has learned how to manage better as she has gotten older but it was a trying time! If it makes you feel better I think that the 2's and 3's were not nearly as hard as that 14 to 20 months range for my strong willed girl. I feel like the trying age happens whenever they first become verbal but don't quite understand how to communicate. Try to be consistent and love on her bubbly personality when she is chipper! Hang in there, mama!

I'll be hitting you up for advice when we get to that stage and we will be 14 months next week.AbbyS.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07733858340351833876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-52273311973636554312012-11-08T20:22:43.365-05:002012-11-08T20:22:43.365-05:00you are not alone!

Especially when she gets something taken away from her. she throws herself forward on the floor while screaming and will get up and do it again if she thinks I didn't have the proper reaction to it.

My son is a strong-willed child and we are firm with him, if we loosen up, we see bad behaviors again, they just have to learn how to deal with it in a spiritually, socially, mature way and even still at 5, he's not always able to do that. Ignoring was our key at that age--when you can, of course when you are at dinner somewhere you can't do that--but we just ate out less and tried to engage as much as possible while out. As she gets older you can play games like "point to all the things in the store that you can find that are purple" etc. Best wishes! She sounds like a sweet heart...just a strong-willed sweet heart! It's okay to be strong-willed!!! sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761555463356249367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-71155105667120902702012-11-08T12:39:15.121-05:002012-11-08T12:39:15.121-05:00Oh girl!

She was hitting and scratching and I was at a loss! I wrote a post about it and got some really good suggestions but luckily she just kind of outgrew it. I'm sure they'll be back though!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553969552982965734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-44910784588743632322012-11-08T11:36:46.440-05:002012-11-08T11:36:46.440-05:00We are in full tantrum mode too, and they make Har...We are in full tantrum mode too, and they make Harper seem calm! L was the exact same as Harper sounds, full of independence. Abbott still isn't communicating at all, so I think he just gets super frustrated all the time when we can't figure out what he wants. If he would point, or something at least, this would help! I try to just ignore, but I know I am pickhin him up too often just to get him to stop. He likes to swat things out of my hand when he is mad. This I must find a better response too ASAP! Don't worry, I am right there with you!!Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00072257370888260898noreply@blogger.com
