Well it appears that they must all do it as Jordan can chuck a tanti like the rest of them
He will arch his back and scream if you try and sit him down or put him in high chair when he doesnt want to.
I tell him no and try to calm him down best I can. A little distraction can be good, I take him out to see the dogs or the ducks.

Like you Kristie i am so not one for smacking. I have given him a pat on his hand once or twice and said NO, nothing hard though. I couldnt do it to him

I am sure he will grow out of it eventually but for now I will take it in my stride
