How do you deal with baby tantrums? How do you calm your baby down?

My son is the king of tantrums! He will throw a wobbly about EVERYTHING!. Not getting his own way, me not making him a drink fast enough, having to st in is pushchair when he wants to walk, you name it, he will strop about it! Just a typical toddler! I find that every baby needs a different response to handling tantrums. With my son we either ignore it, as giving him attention makes him do it more, or if hes really misbehaving we threaten him with a time out. Which he hates. Some kids. you only have to say stop it, and that works fine. Every kid is different, you just have to find what works for you

Yes sometimes ignoring them works because like you said if you shower them with more attention it would just encourage them more. What is exactly a time out?

if a child is being naughty or doing something you dont like and you ask them to stop and they dont.... first you give them a warning and say something like, "if you do it again, you are going to sit down and have time out" then if they do carry on misbehaving, you place them in time out such as in a chair or on the naughty step and they have to sit there and think about their behaviour, or until they are ready to stop. They stay they 1 minute for every year of their age and if they get up and run off, then their time out starts again. After their time out is over, you explain why they were put in time out and ask for an apology. Most kids hate it because they have to sit there and not be allowed to play so it teaches them there are consequences to their actions.

Most kids hate it because they have to sit there and not be allowed to play so it teaches them there are consequences to their actions. So that's a time out, it's similar to "face the wall" it's like telling the child to face the wall when he or she misbehaves and not until he or she promises not to misbehave anymore will he be allowed to go and not face the wall anymore. Same with "time out" it actually works because it's boring to face the wall for a long time and he/ she wouldn't like it so the misbehaving stops and also it's not a harsh punishment but it teaches the child not to misbehave.
