My 19 month old son is a happy baby and usually laid back and goes with the flow. But the last week he has been throwing temper tantrums, with the kicking, thrashing, arching, and throwing himself on the floor. He does this the whole time we go out somewhere too. He used to just sit there and be happy. We can’t leave him with anyone when we go out, he has to come with. It is really embarrassing and the only way to make him stop is let him run around, but of course when I found out that was what he wanted, I just held him down and let him throw a fit, but when everyones staring at you I end up going and sitting outside with him. At home I put him in his crib until he stops or falls asleep. He is teething too. What made him start behaving this way this past week? And any suggestions on how to make him calm down while we are out so we can get done what we need to?
Update:
He is teething, he cut through 3 teeth this past week and is drooling and chewing a lot and has a runny nose. I give him Tylonel for pain, but he usually wont chew on anything but his fingers. I have been thinking of taking him to the Dr. I’ll take him in. But my pediatrician always tells me thiers nothing wrong and pushes me out the door. She wont talk to us and give us ideas on how to handle the situation.

Congradulations… your child has taken an early start into the “terrible twos” Teething may have a part in it.. But the fact that he is fine if you let him run around tells me its more than that… I had the same problem… you should get a few toys that seem to keep his attention and let him play in the bigger basket of the cart. he’s most likely not talking up the storm sooo he may be frustrated he wants to explore and cant ssooo he communicates it by fits…. its hard.. one of us(her father or I) will usually take her out if she’s too bad but if its just me and dinner has to get done ohh well let people stare and make their stupid comments.. im sure they werent perfect children and theres only soo much you can do at that age
good luck!
ohhh btw my daughter is 2 almost 3 and if she’s good gets to go see the lobster tank which she loves… then if she’s extra good(and the stores not busy with a line behind me?) she gets to be a big girl and help me with the self scan check out i put the item barcode down and she pushes it through….i had to start displaying that she gets rewarded for good behavior with a treat of some sort.
Doesn’t sound like he takes change well. That being said you mention he only does this when you go out to take care of things. That is an issue to be dealt with by a medical professional. First off is he medically ok? Teething is so painful. This is a time he needs extra attention. Do not rely on ignoring him as a method to control his behavior. Are you taking necessary steps to keep him pain free or to lessen the pain? He is probably not sleeping well either. You really need to contact your pediatrician and he needs to be seen. That will give you more information to do what is best for the child. Your pediatrician needs to be fired. He obviously does not give a da## about your child. Give him a reality check.

specific he will, my son is the smae age and he has been having timeouts for undesirable habit on the grounds that he advance into 12mo. yet tember tantrums are meant to be disregarded, because of the fact he will love the attention you provide him whether its whilst hes naughty. I provide my son a million minute to end screaming and if he doesnt, I placed him in his crib to settle himself. I tell him that i don’t prefer him with the aid of me whilst he’s screaming and that i will hug him and kiss him whilst he stops and that i ignore approximately him. Then if he does circulate to his crib I tell him whilst i circulate up there that he’s in mattress for screaming at mommy and that it is not advantageous. I even have him exhibit sense sorry approximately and then I hug him and tell him i admire him. whilst he are talking on your son and explaining those issues get down on his point and characteristic him inspect you. better of luck!
Why? Because Obama signed the Stimulus Bill into law and now his generation will have to pay for our generations sins. But seriously it is quite normal. One of my four used to do it to avoid going to sleep at bedtime. You are handling it well at home. When you have to leave him with someone else try leaving him with somebody that has other kids after which he can model his behavior. Or at least somebody who understands that this is normal behavior and can handle it.
i dont really know anything about this, but maybe the teething is making him do it
if it is a big issue, see a pediatrician
