DD has been throwing mini tantrums since she was about 10 months old! She spent most of this morning throwing one..because I wouldn't let her crawl onto DF's bedside table to play with the money on there! Her worst one was in Officeworks earlier this week, she wanted to get down and started crying because I wouldn't put her on the floor, so then I did put her down and she threw herself face down and started screaming

I find distraction works well most of the time, if I ask her if she can see any birds outside (if we're near a window or outside) or where is Mason (our dog) and she cheers up pretty quickly. Or I tell her in a bright & chirpy voice what we're going to do next. if that doesn't work, then I just try and ignore her and finish what I was trying to do (if we are out).

I definitely wouldn't be trying time out just yet...there is no way when he has just turned one that he would understand what it means, and most tantrums are over minor things that aren't about "bad behaviour", it's just their way of coping as they are learning boundaries.
