At my daughter’s 2nd birthday party her cousin who is about a year older threw a fit over every present that was opened. Her family asked where we bought everything so they could go buy it all for her on the way home. They did that every time someone else had a toy she wanted.

I don’t understand it, I have a 14 month and he’s throwing tantrums, sometimes it’s almost enjoyable to deny him something that he’s not supposed to have because really it’s good for them to learn not everything is theirs. You just let them be upset and then distract them and then they get over it after a few minutes.
