My son is just about to turn 1 & he is driving me nuts!?

lol, Did I get ya'lls attention?!? :)
I have noticed over olden times month a big change in my 11 month. He is a really good infant & laughs & smiles at anything. Well this is some things he's been doing that I think is a bit diff.

-when you take something away from him he completely throws a fit, scream, & throws his head back, I walk away from his tantrums.

-when I try feed him with a spoon he spits it back out, then puts his fingers on tongue & plays near food, (he is a GREAT eater)

-he has learned to throw his ball, etc immediately, & anything he gets his hands on he throws it

-he wants to be held seriously lately, he's always pulling on me to lift him up (we don't spoil him!)

Is this just a changeover of life for him? This is my first & I just want to make sure we are rule our child to grow up in a good manner. I be also wwondering if maybe he can pick up what other children are doing at this age? If so he stayes with my SIL who has a 4 & 6 year mature & the boy 4 year old is really bad! So I was curious if he might be picking up other childrens traditions?

THanks
I am not a mom. But, I think from my moms stories every baby is when they are little. They will be until they are close to 5 i bet. It will all work out. Trust me!
Sounds normal, just try to work on the throwing things and fits sensibly. Babies can sense our stress and irritation and react to that. He could be picking it up for the other kids, just work on it with him, and if it get worse bring it up to your SIL maybe?
This is all normal behavior. He's experimenting next to boundaries firstly. He wants to see exactly what will get your attention, and which of his new found skills he can use and surrounded by what ways.

The food issue is very common. He's trying to see if it tastes different after he does stuff to it. Usually this is a result of watching us cook. Adults mess beside their food a LOT more than we think we do. ;)

Throwing, as I said, is a test of boundaries and just him axiom "hey look what I can do now!"

Wanting to be held is part of the attachment phase. This will end within about a year, but it's normal for them to feel gone out if they're not being held, or if one parent leaves for a few hours, etc. Kids may also get overly attached to one parent at this stage.

Some tips: when you see him throwing things he shouldn't, go over to him next to something he can throw and offer it as an alternative. You can tell him "Oh it's much more fun to throw the ball! Watch it bounce and roll." He should acquire distracted by the new toy and not notice you taking away the elderly once, thus avoiding the fits.

Fits are just a natural part of growing up. It's their frustration at notion all these new emotions, not man able to communicate them to you properly, and not understanding why they can or can't do certain things at particular times.

Hang in there! It will ease up! Just try to look at it more as an exploratory phase and you'll know how to cope better! Source(s): I'm a mom of a four year old boy, and majored in child psychology in college. :)
Your 11 month old sounds very usual...they do this normally.
Answers:    Baby are very smart, they learned and adapted very vigorously in any environments. They know when they cry, the parents will give a lot of attention to them. Giving your child a lot of attention is good, but giving too much. Then the baby will become fruitless. I believe in rewarded and punished. If the parents don't start teaching their child when he/she is young, at hand is no way he/she will listen when he/she is older. You want the baby learn good behavior and mininize the bad behavior. It's tough to understand other human, it's even tougher to get baby. Patient is the key to be success.

For example, oodles great althete, computer geek, or whatever professions, they alway started when they were younger.

You have to train the infant eat on time. Three times a day or anything and do the same everyday. Same for sleeping, if the baby sleep at 9pm then try to engineer he/she sleep at 9pm every night. Your tone of voice is very important. When the babe is not listening, try not to yell, but show he/she that you are angry. Give them eyes contact. Parent try not to divide out from each other. For example, the dad punished and the mom report to the baby is okay. The parent have to be on the same side. All these things is basically an act, try to show the baby what is right and what is wrong. The more you do the faster the baby think through.

I hope this will help you out.
His hissy fits are normal at this age, you're doing the right point and walking away. With the spoon that also is normal, you might take it easy and try a bit every year, he found his tongue, also normal.Throwing is normal too, just the orb though, if he throws anything else, say very firmly NO and take it away. They apprehend NO and it doesn't hurt his little psyche to know the word NO. And being consistent about it is the best way to go and get the message across.
His wanting to be picked up is also normal, its a bit of separation anxiety.Check out what the little 4 year old does to him when you're not there, perchance is also scared and remember he cannot tell you that yet. For picking up fruitless habits he's too young yet.
Good luck, he sounds comparatively normal to me.
Hi...
I can understand your frustration. My son is 15 months old. Around 1 year on...they are finding their nouns. He doesn't want you to take things away...feed him...etc. At the same time they also want to know that you are still around...pick me up...pick me up.
My counsel for the tantrums is to NOT walk away. Get down to his eye level (very important) and talk to him. Tell him you get the message that he would like to play with ____ (fill in the blank)...later explain to him why he cannot play with it. Then say Please give Mommy the ______ and kind-heartedly pull it away.

Feeding problems are common. Just be patient..and adopt that is going to be a meesy time. Perhaps try to give him more things that he can self feed. I also give my son a spoon at the same time that I was feeding him. It give him the chance to try..and I knew he was gettting the food he needed because I feed him at the same time.Your little guy may be interested in feeding himself. Lucian be very interested in doing it himself...at 13 months he was feed himself with the spooin with no help from us.

Throwing things...I would do one and the same as the tantrums. Get down to his eye level and tell him that we throw balls not _____. Give him a kismet to play again...if he throws it...repeat the statement and tell him if he throws it again you will have to take it away. Then folloe through properly.

Holding him will not spoil him...don't worry about it. He may start picking things up from other children...but just reinforce the behavior you would similar to to see from him. Try to be positive and use positive reinforcement over negativity...it goes a long way.

Good Luck. Source(s): http://www.babycenter.com/0_your-11-mont…
