[quote=Anonymous]My 17 month old has recently started having absolutely horrible screaming fits. The first time it happened I thought I was going to have to take her to the emergency room, I was truly scared of what was happening to her. She screams uncontrollably, at the top of her longs, in a total rage for maybe 10-15 mins (but feels like eternity). She also arches her back and stiffens her body and will roll around on the floor. She will not be touched or comforted during this time and it doesn’t matter what we try to do to distract or comfort her, she will not be soothed until she’s done. What triggers these is unpredictable but typically it’s something that upsets her and (I suspect, she can’t tell me) makes her feel out of control — e.g. her sibling takes something from her, she’s forced into a high chair, she’s taken out of the bath before she wants to be done, etc. This makes anything my older child did look like a walk through the park.

I am definitely going to talk to her doctor at her next visit. Curious if anyone else had a kid act like this and it turns out the kid had some other problem down the road?  [/quote]
