More tantrums after #2's arrival?

roundtheworldgirl

DD1 is only 13 months old, but in the last few days she has started throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her way.  Today she started screaming and threw herself down on the floor when DH took something away from her.  Seems as though she is too young to be doing this ... I'm guessing it has to do with the birth of her little sister.  Thoughts, experiences?

While #2 isn't here yet, DD definitely started throwing tantrums after her first birthday.  I've been reading "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" and it has some helpful info on dealing with tantrums.  Toddler-ease seems to work pretty well for us.  Here's a preview of the book: https://books.google.com/books?id=NA8H9zqSKeoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=the+happiest+toddler+on+the+block&source=bl&ots=xLMw8wvhIE&sig=wDxP_hsqbB3XC43AlXGXYAsWJEY&hl=en&ei=4z_TTJvuFZD0swOz7tCOCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&sqi=2&ved=0CFAQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q&f=false

I'd attribute it more to age.  DS started in with the tantrums about two seconds after his 1st birthday.

Yup my almost 14 month old has been doing it too. Especially if we take something away he cries and screams and falls to the ground and puts his head on the ground. Wow. Glad to know it's normal at this age.
