Because it works: Infants learn to cry in their first hours to get their needs met. As they age that original cry can become embellished with whatever seems to get more of your attention. Headbanging, vomiting on demand, screeching are all possible embellishments.If you learn to monitor their fits without locking eyes, and only respond after they stop, you can reduce this behavior.

Positive or negative: attention reinforces behaviors. Consistently ignoring behaviors makes them stop after 1st getting worse. When she tantrums, carry her from behind to a time-out spot on a washable surface. Don't talk, make eye contract or act upset. Repeat till she stays put. Set a timer for 1 ½ minutes, then carry her from behind to where it started & talk to her calmly. Buy Little People for $12 on Amazon.
