He had his first at about 20 mos. and lasted until about 30 mos., but were not very frequent. They are now really wonderful young men, aged 21 and 18.

The two year olds generally only shows itself when he is overtired or hungry. The one year old is a TOTALLY different story. He's still easy going and a happy baby, but if something doesn't go HIS way he lets you know he's mad about it! It'll be interesting to see how they develop into older children and teens :) We have definitely noticed they 1 yr old is more passionate and are already praying that God will turn his passionate (now temper...) into something good and God honoring.

The first time she did it I just stood there in shock - she had been such a sweet and easy baby. Now all I have to do is lean in very close to her ear and whisper, "Do we need to take care of this in the car?" and she quickly changes her tune. Her brother is still learning this, however. It only took her a few marches straight out to the car (without any treats) for her to realize Mommy was going to win. The Beast apparently is going to take a LOT of trips out to the car... yeah, my daughter was very talented at the “tantrum in a public place” at only 18 months old!

When we are at the store she will say "I see it" you put anything in the cart, if you don't she keeps at it, louder and louder until we are having a meltdown and EVERYONE in the entire store is hearing "I SEE IT!!". This too shall pass, right? LOL, that “I keep it” reminds me of my almost 2 year old.

It was like someone flipped a switch. Now despite consistant and immediate discipline (time outs, spanking etc) I deal with stomping feet and "no!" a lot. Some days I miss the baby days LOL.

My oldest is about to be 18 and my youngest is 18 months. Five girls and one boy. NONE of my children have a temper like my youngest. She is bullheaded, tempermental and screams just like your little one. High pitched, shrill enough to shatter the glass in the french doors and followed with throwing herself on the ground and leaving me flabber-gasted. I don't get it with her, I am DREADing the teenage temper tantrums... I am gearing myself for a challenge of a lifetime! She usually throws these fits when she thinks I'm leaving her, or when her sister who is 13 months older than her takes her stuff. They live to torment each other. It will take time, the others learned... right? :) I have six beautiful, wonderful, individual children. My oldest is about to be 18 and my youngest is 18 months. Five girls and one boy.

We, too, are experiencing the joys of tantrums at 21 months. They started about 2 months ago. I'm trying time out but just last week had my 21 month old son as me to put him in time out right after he hit me. Patience is the best medicine for the tired mom's soul.

But she is not as verbal. Yesterday she threw a screaming and kicking fit because she wanted new crackers instead of finishing the ones that she'd taken a bite out of. After a long fit she gave up and finished her crackers. Sophia has started serious tantrums too. But she is not as verbal.

Talk about a defiant little booger, she kept walking into the street. When I'd scold her, she'd lay down in the street, taunting me with her I'm-gonna-torture-you-and-not-listen smile. I finally had to just take pictures to post on the blog, proof that she's a little devil. Great article, Janice, especially since my little Jorie has been having ‘em all afternoon.
