Thanks for your replies, its good to hear im not the only one who is having this trouble x

Hi i have a daughter exact same she is my fourth child and the others had tantrums but nowhere near like she does, she screams, goes red in the face, headbutts, smacks, bites, pulls hair. She is so head strong and that is what it is, it will calm down but it may take a while?????? To be honest i can't remember how old the others were growing out of this lovely stage. Sharon x

Hi hun, i have no answers but can only say you are not alone. My dd is 17 months and her first response to anything i say that she doesn't like is to head butt. She smacks her head into the wall, floor, radiators, basically anything. She has a pemanent soft spot on her forehead some days.  She throws the most awful tantrums in and out doors, wont eat without having a hissy fit, basically just kicks off over everything. I am at a loss as to how to handle the tantrums so i ignore them most of the time. x

hey sorry no advice, my lo does same no headbutting but absolute tantrums sceams and pulles at his clothes, he did it at a christening in the middle of the dance floor this weekend and of course the room only contained mums whos children never cry they just stared at me in disgust! i wanted the floor to open up and swollow me where dh just smiled and delt with it he could see i was dying! its only a recent thing but could do with some advice myself!!!

Hi my dd is starting to drive me insane and im at my wits end with her, if i tell her not to do somthing ie-bang her toys into our flatscreen tv she will throw a tantrum and start headbutting things and gives herself a red mark on her head in the car she climbs out of her seat and i have to fight with her to keep her sat down while dh is driving and she will scream and start headbutting the car door , i have just told her she cannot climb up the stairs and she has headbutted the door and now i have had to barracade the door to stop her getting out! she is 17months old, i have never had this with my ds and even now he is nearly 3 he is very well behaved. How can i nip this in the bud or how do i control it, im back at work now doing 2 jobs and hate coming home to her throwing tantrums its starting to upset me....sorry its long thanks for reading x
