Hi

Shauna83 yes our kids are very close in age..A typical day with Zander is he can be fine playing and if you want him to do something and he doesnt want it he will drop to the floor wherever he his whacking his head and then have a spack on the ground..I just tell him to stop it and walk away...he then gets up (usually crying) and is cranky pants..if its bad I put him straight into his bed. He can do this at a drop of a hat...It has even crossed my mind that he may have ADD or something else...but I think and hope its just a phase. I have been told by a child health nurse that he is learning to "self regulate"which means he is learning to know what he can and cant do and how his behaviour should be. I think every child goes through it...some just worse than others....I think it may depend on their individual personality.

I saw that MEM thing....I think it was aimed at newborns being in child care ..which I dont agree with...It is a very sensitive topic....Each to their own
