How can I calm my one year old's temper tantrums?

When she throws a fit just let her lay down on the floor and throw it while you turn around and ignore it. When she stops screaming you can turn back around and pick her up. In public you do exactly the same thing. As embarrasing as it is, people understand and the majority of them have been through it. They're looking because they're curious. When people stare at my son while he's throwing a fit, I look at them and say "any suggestions?" and they usually laugh and walk off.

The more attention she gets during the fits the longer they'll continue and the worse they'll get. Even at this age they know what they're doing when they do that and they're watching your reaction.

Ignoring her is the best and so what if people look at you. With my oldest he threw a big ole fit because I told him he had to take a bite before he could have his drink because he was just sucking down his drink. We just ignored him since we were outside at a fast food restaurant. When we went to leave an old couple approached us and praised us with how well we were doing with him by not giving in. Some people might look but most understand. They eventually just quit altogether.

In public. Take her into the bathroom and just let her have it out there.

If that isn't possible then just let her scream. It happens and parents understand that. Anybody who has issue with it either isn't a parent or has a spoiled bratty child.

" ignoring her is easier said than done when we are in public..."....this is why she is worse in public, cause she knows you won't just walk away from her or beat the crap out of her in public..

I use to tell my daughter she could act anyway she wanted to in public, BUT if she didn't act the way I wanted her to I would BEAT her when we got home.. it worked.. she would act a fool in public and I did nothing, the moment we got home, I got the belt. to her only two times for her to figure it out..
