Good day, my son is 20months old with a very bad temper he hurts himself what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some basics: At 20 mo many kids thinks their the boss & will do anything to get attention/manipulate you. If you freak/pay close attention when he hurts himself/hits others/breaks things it reinforces the behavior & assures it will happen more. Try not to look directly at him (eye to eye) when these things happen but monitor out of side vision. If you intervene don't lock eyes. This can break the cycle.
