Please tell me that daily tantrums are normal for a 15 month old???!!!

Hi, as the title suggests my 15 month old DD has been having tantrums and there seems to be more of them going on!!! Is it normal for a baby so young to be having tantrums every day - and usually a few of them over different things?
for example geting frustrated with a toy, or pointing to the fridge but refusing the food I offer her until its something SHE wants specifically, and being in the car - that is the worst!!!

Hi Ery

Yep, I think its very normal! DD is having some doozies atm. I think mainly out of sheer frustration, she knows what she wants but she just cant quite do it. We have been having them for a while and am finding distraction to be the key to less screaming iykwim. We have finally gotten over the car tantrums but DD was never a good traveller until recently.
It just doesnt seem right such small babes throwing huge tantrums though, hey?!?

Erm... well, they started here a bit after 12 - 13 months & got worse

Oh, but the good news is - it will pass

I keep telling myself this. Often

oh yep its normal, sorry to say. Has the headbutting started yet? My DS is 18months and whilst its easier to figure out the triggers, it also means he just starts alot quicker and last longer.

totally normal my DD2 has been tantruming everyday and many times a day now since about that age and still going at 29 months old, she headbutts, bites, kicks, screams, tries pulling her own heair out its a nightmare, sorry i have no advice but yes it is completely normal and you are certainly not alone in the battle!

My DD2 throws the biggest tanties and she is 18 months tomorrow. She's been at it for a while stomping her feet, screaming, flinging her arms around and if I pick her up she pushes off with her arms and legs and doesn't stop screaming. DD1 never had tantrums this early or at this scale. It's exhausting!
