Temper tantrums
I’ve noticed as my baby is developing his speech temper tantrums are at a all time high, anything from being put into the car seat, to nappy changes to even demanding things immediately. He’s my only child but I don’t want to ruin the lovely boy he is by giving into everything because it’s a cry. Im trying to go with the flow to keep him happy is this how we are handling them as they are learning, Or shall I look for alternative methods on how to manage these situations.

Great advice
I needed that reassurance today was a hard day on me, so it must be an even harder day on little one
Some days are so hard! I always try and remember "they're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time" on days like that.

We are going with the flow. There's so much going on with them developmentally at the moment and tantrums are also completely developmentally normal at this age. Their brains must be frazzled with all they are learning and it's super frustrating for them when they're becoming more independent but not completely independent yet and know what they want but can't always communicate it. So we're just trying to support him going through this. We hold space, let him have the tantrums, feel the emotions and get it out. We have boundaries and hold firm on those when needed.
