How to handle “mini-fits” in the early stages

^ I have no clue

Seriously!! You could not have told me that a 11 month old can have a mini-tantrum and I believe you. We started noticing her personality flourishing for some time now but the side of MJ that she doesn’t always show is when she doesn’t like something. I don’t know what the road ahead of me will be like and the challenge I have is knowing what discipline looks like at this age. So I choose to redirect and repeat.

What seems to work right now is redirecting her attention, and repeating that as often as necessary. I talk to her in between and use a tone that’s serious but not “mean”. I am so torn…my little baby is growing up and I think this is all too soon. My fear is that if I don’t pick up a style of how to parent her during her times of mini-fits that I will wake up 1 day to a full blown tantrum. Is this inevitable?

Help me out mama’s, what do you recall doing to help teach right and wrong and combat the fall outs? I wish I could catch her on video but she will even break her back as if she is going to fall out of your hands or if she is on the floor she turns around in circles, while fussing because she is upset that you took something out of her hand. Lord help me. I wasn’t ready!!
