[quote=Anonymous]My MIL claims her kids were perfect angels and never once had a tantrum or even screamed. I distinctly recall my own awful tantrums up to the age of 4. Guess who DS takes after. :) He is 2 and has been having tantrums since he was about 13 months. He was a very late talker and the tantrums have improved as his talking has gotten better, but there are definitely times where he hurls himself on the floor and screams and flails. The good thing is it rarely lasts more than a minute or two. We have learned to stand back and watch/ignore, so long as he doesn't hurt himself. He has always been a very intense kid (as was I) and the tantrums seem to be an extension of that. There are no in-betweens with him. Most of the time he is intensely happy, exuberant even, but when he's mad, watch out!

I think a lot is personality. My nephew's "tantrums" are basically some quiet tears. He is just a really chill kid. So was his mother, my sister. It surprised no one that of the two of us, I would have the intense rambunctious one and she would have the kid who would stay where you put him. Now if and when we have additional kids, we'll see if that pattern repeats.[/quote]
