19 months old, temper tantrum central

My son has just started throwing horrendous temper tantrums. Is
this the terrible 2s I've been hearing about? He will literally
be right as rain and then BAM, our of nowhere one small thing
doesn't go his way and he loses. his. shit. I mean it. He will
cling to me wailing hysterically for half an hour because, for
example, he was not allowed to play with mummy's phone. Anyone
else experiencing this??

Hi there, when my son was this age he started having tantrums.
I've heard it's the onset of language and walking that it
happens more often, amongst lots of many reasons like they don't
understand why they can't have everything now. Apparently the
reasoning brain is not developed until age 5 lol :).. so now
that I know this I can relax more. My son is now 26 months and
has less tantrums. When he does I try to stay calm and positive
with him - which is hard sometimes :) I sit beside him and let
him have a fit, quick explanation of why he can't have
something, a hug and then I distract him. I've found this
website really useful too!

Hey, yes, staying calm is my approach too. I don't know if you
have heard about RIE parenting but it's all to do with allowing
your child to go through whatever emotion they need to go
through and explain that it is to them. So I'm just here like...
'I can see you are very frustrated and angry...' ::) It's tough
because he's always been a 'good' baby, extremely obedient and
attentive, so now this is throwing me a curve ball! Haha. But
good to know it gets better eventually!
