A. It's completely normal for a 1 year 10-month-old child to show tantrums, cry, or even shout when things don’t go their way. This behavior is a normal part of toddler development and is usually due to a few key reasons: Why Toddlers Show Tantrums: Limited Communication Skills: They can’t express their emotions or needs clearly, so they cry or shout. They feel frustrated because they know what they want but can’t explain it well. Growing Independence: Toddlers want to make their own choices, but they don’t yet understand limits. Saying “no” or refusing to do something is a way to feel in control. Big Emotions, Little Control: They feel strong emotions like anger, frustration, or excitement but can’t manage them yet. Tiredness, Hunger, or Overstimulation: If she’s sleepy, hungry, or overwhelmed, tantrums are more likely. Testing Boundaries: She’s learning cause and effect: “If I cry, will I get what I want?” What You Can Do: Stay calm and consistent. Use simple words: “I know you’re upset because you want that toy.” Offer choices: “Do you want to wear the red dress or the blue one?” Stick to routines: Predictability makes toddlers feel safe. Distract gently: Offer another toy or change the activity. Praise good behavior: When she calms down or listens, praise her gently. When to Worry: If tantrums are very frequent or last a long time (more than 15-20 minutes often). If she hurts herself or others during tantrums. If she has no interest in interacting or communicating. But in most cases, this is a normal stage that improves with time, patience, and good communication. Would you like some daily tips or routines to reduce tantrums gently?
