Ok, so maybe the title is a slight exaggeration… But my 1 year old son baffles me at times! I’m having a hard time digesting how it’s possible for a 1 year old to get this angry, and my does he know how to get naraz!
He’s mostly a very cheerful, energetic, social kid mA… But he cannot stand things not going his way.
Examples.
He’d try to turn the TV on by banging the remote on the tv, obviously the tv did jot turn on so he threw the remote on the ground, picked it up and threw it again and repeated this 4 times all the while mumbling something in an angry tone and then he stormed out of the room.
Once my hubby took his cell phone out of his hand, he stormed to the side tables and started to throw things off it.
He wanted my attention but I had to run to the loo (i think) and when I came back to him he turned away from me!!!
I went to refill his plate (he HATES waiting for food lol) and when I returned he wouldn’t come near me, even though I know he was hungry.
I have never seen such behaviour in any kid I’ve known so I’m a little lost… Anyone know how I should deal with all this?
PS: NO ONE in our home acts remotely close to the behaviour described above.
Sounds like someone’s hit the terrible two’s early! Relax, it’s all normal. He’s trying to assert himself and since he’s not able to communicate very well, this is how his frustrations boil over. The first thing is for you to stay calm. Tantrums like these blow over quickly. When he’s calmer, you can explain to him what he’s doing is wrong but keep in mind, he’s very little and most likely won’t retain much so repetition is key. The best thing you can do is distract. Point him to a different activity or object and move him away from what he’s doing.
Thanks. I do try to keep calm… And I try (in vain it seems) to explain to him what it is I’m doing but I’m left with a screaming/ naraz baby and me repeating “beta tumhar plate meiN khaana khatam ho Gaya, meiN aur ley kar aarahi houN”
That sounds exactly like my son lately lol he’s almost 18 months and does the same things. But yeah…it’s normal. I just try to distract him…it works most of the times..but when it doesn’t, ignoring his tantrum/letting him vent works…he stops within the minute.
Recite the Surah Ikhlas, Falak, and Naas three times each as well as Ayatul Kursi and blow on him or do dam on water and give it to him. If he doesn’t finish the water, pour the remaining to the plants.
Calm down it is normal. They don’t havecontrol emotion. They are upset they are upset. They sre happy they are super happy. Goes both ways. U need to acknowledge that you know he is upset and try to distract.
Totally normal. Once when my son was upset with his dad, he ignored him for almost an hour before finally talking to him again. Like the others mentioned, distraction is the key. Talk to him at his eye level, stay calm and conti. to explain things to him.
