My daughter is 13 months, she's funny, bright and a really sweet girl. But I find her temper is getting worse. More temper tantrums! about 2-3 a day which isn't to bad i've heard. I'm just so afraid when she has one she's going to really hurt herself when she

throws herself on the floor. Some people saw " just leave her" Others say distract her with a toy. Has anyone have any ideas? Or have been in a similar situation? Please help.

In my experience over the past year and half tantrums are a crazy thing they come on so quickly sometimes. But i find that they should be handled differently for each tantrum, like sometimes distracting  works but other times you can just pick up your child and give them a hug and everything is ok. I think that you can try different things to find out what works best with your child and after a  while you will know how to handle the tantrum. You will also be able to tell what set the tantrum off and try to avoid it next time. I found when i went grocery shopping my daughter would always have a tantrum so I starting bringing a little bag with snacks  that she really likes and when we start shopping I give her the snacks and she just sits there as happy as can be. But other times we have been out and I had to go and sit in the car  to give her a minute to calm down ( usually this is because she is over tired ) So anyways , not sure if this helps at all  : ) . But I have had to deal with less tantrums or at least shorter ones because I tried everything that every little old lady and stranger told me while I was trying to deal with a screaming child in a store or park or well just about anywhere.  So good luck to all the mothers in the world who have cuties with a bad temper ; )
