Hi all
I mind a 16mth lo who has just started having tantrums. Its nothing I can't deal with but thought I would ask you lovely people if you have any tips that I haven't thought of.
At the mo I am distracting if I can, otherwise I leave lo in middle of room where he can't hurt himself or others while he is kicking, screaming etc
We have lots of cuddles after.
Today though he ran into other room and banged his head against the wall which did worry me. I gave him a firm cuddle until he calmed down and informed mum who was great about it. (she is totally on board and we are dealing with lo the same way)
Is there any thing else I can do to help lo through this stage?
Thanks all x
