It took me a while, but I finally called my mom this evening and asked how to deal with a 9 month old throwing temper tantrums.
I’ve seen older kids, around 2-4 scream and throw themselves to the ground with their head back crying and thought, huh? Well today Ajax threw himself backward, back arched, and just screamed at the top of his lungs (all because I tried to trim his nails, a thing which has never bothered him in the past). I started laughing, thinking what the heck is this? I didn’t even realize it was a tantrum because honestly I thought that he was to young for such nonsense. My mom has assured me that no, he is not too young and to nip it in the bud early on. I’ll let you know how we’re doing on that front!
