very challenging to deal with for any parent! Is child getting enough attention? Are they not getting their need met due to inability to express it? 18m can tolerate a time out. Best to be consistent in how one handles the tantrum. Best to ignore behaviour as long as they are in no danger or harm to self (walk away works as kids don’t like being left alone) and reinforce better behaviour positively. Best to try to avoid triggering behaviours (i.e. don’t go shopping when your kid is hungry, tired, frustrated etc.). Ensure not seizure activity.

Q

nutrition and toddlers?

A
  • 12-18m growth rate slows & so does appetite but still need protein for muscle growth & high activity level
    Ritualistic behaviour – use same cup, plate etc. one food touches another – yikes!
    Encourage independence building by letting child feed self rather than parent, also may help with appetite and amount eaten (gaining sense of independence). Difficult for toddlers to sit still for a whole meal. Kids may like same food again and again, go with it! Offer finger foods. Eat about the same foods as family by 12 months, just cut smaller or mashed? Look at food consumption over 24 hours or even a week rather than meal to meal and generally should be OK for food groups! Appetite will vary as will food preferences. Avoid using food as a reward or to pacify a child. Beware of choking foods! Grazing is a good way to ensure proper nutrition.

activity and sleep and toddles?

A

very active but concerns re: too much screen time leading to obesity! Get outdoors and off the couch! Sleep 12 hours a day, 1-2 naps and often by end of toddlerhood don’t nap. Sleep problems common, getting settled to bed and fears (separation, monsters (transitional objects help, routines, etc. help), and waking up during the night. Safe sleeping environment, bed for sleep and not play time. Avoid all this by establishing a consistent sleep routine early.
