I think this is funny!

My son, has recently started throwing temper tantrums! He is so funny! He stomps around and throws his self on the floor, bangs his head on stuff.. Just this morning he decided to get mad at mommy because I wont let him on the computer with me, and he was standing on the bean bag and started stomping around and fell backwards and did some sort of gymnastics backflip and hit his toys all the way down! Well Im not the one to put up with these little tantrums in public but at home I cant help but laugh at him! Sometimes he gets so mad that he wants to bite things (me, himself, the table, ect..) I just think this is to funny except when he bites me because doesnt he know he is just hurting himself? Anyways My point to this is does anyone know how to somewhat cure this said temper tantrum, fit pitching problem? Any suggestions???

  1. Bailey does that too. Ive tried spanking him, timeout, you name it and he still has them every now and then but not so much. I find time out works the best. But you have to be consistent, you can't discipline him in public and then laugh at him at home. If he sees you laughing hes gonna continue to do it for attention. Every kid is different you just have to try different things.. but remember to stay consistent.

  2. I'm a new follower...referred by your friend Brittney, from Mom Bloggers Club :) Yay!! Love your header...too cute! Please stop by and visit my blog when you get a chance!

    Okay, here's some advice from a mom of 3 (16yo, 10yo and 5yo)...IGNORE him! When he sees a reaction, good or bad, its giving him attention. Explain, in a calm voice, what you need him to do, or not do, and then ignore the tantrum. I know, easier said than done, but after a while, it may help. Most kids his age tantrum because they cannot communicate their needs that well. Ask him what he wants, or needs, and if you can do it, great...if not, then he will have to try and understand. This age IS very trying at times, but it gets better! Hang in there mom!!!

    BTW...he is ADORABLE!!!
