What am I supposed to do with DD?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

The last couple days maybe a week DD has been impossible.  She has always yelled at me when I tell her no but now she will scream bloody murder and throw herself down on the ground.  No matter where we are.  If I'm holding her she will just go limp and slide down to the ground.  I was trying to pick her up and console her but she would lift her arms above her head so I'd almost drop her (KWIM?).  The last two days I've just been leaving her there to have her fit and I ignore her until she's done screaming.

 It makes it worse that my parents watch her and my dad just can't handle her right now.  My sister told me last night that she heard dad yelling at her and getting frustrated.  I don't know what to tell him to do to help. 

What do you ladies do?  I'm so praying that this is just a phase and she'll get over it.

ETA:  It has to be too early for the terrible twos right?

    I absolutely think my 14 month old is in the "terrible 2s" without a doubt!

    DD gets this way to.  I chalk it up to her living in "A World Full of No" as I call it.  I know she's frustrated - she can't always do what she wants and she can't always COMMUNICATE either.

    I saw someone say once on here that the terrible twos start promptly at one! lol  I agree wholeheartedly.  DS does this too, and we just ignore the tantrum.  Luckily he hasn't done it in public yet.  I'm not sure what I'll do then.

    Definitely terrible somethings!!! lol I can't imagine their frustration. My dd started her tantrum in the mall yesterday. Dh and I let her run around a bit but when it's time to go back in the stroller, she threw herself on the ground and started screaming. I sat her on the bench looked her in the eyes and explained to her in easy language that her behavior wasn't acceptable. And she sat on the bench for about a minute and every time she did that (twice) we sat on the bench. I;m not sure if it got through to her but she sat in the stroller with no problem

    when DS throws a fit I either just leave him to have his fit on the floor or I will put him up in his room until he has camed down.

    My little one is doing the same thing so it must be the age.  He throws himself on the ground and cries huge sobs like it is the end of the world.  I just wait for him to calm down then I will pick him up or whatever.  He did it in the middle of the pediatrician's office becasue I took out my wallet and wouldn't let him carry it.  It was terrible, I just stood there and laughed because I figured every person in there had been in that situation at some pointBig Smile

    At home I just start reading one of his books outloud to myself a little way away from him and he usually settles down and comes to listens.  When we are out he usually throws a fit when I take something away or won't let him have something he wants - then I try to distract him with a toy.  Though my DS is younger so I don't know if this will still work as he gets older.
