My son just turned 18 months he has started to get so angry even over a minor thing like if he picks up a book and I say oh have you got a book and try and read with him or say what a picture is on the page or if he gets a toy and I join in he will throw himself backwards landing on his head and scream, not cry scream until he has made himself choke and be sick, he has bruises on his forehead from where he smashes it into the floor over and over scratches his eyes slaps himself pulls his hair to the point where great big clumps have come out! He refuses to eat! He doesn't sleep all very well he wakes at about 3am and is screaming in anger and throwing himself into the cot bars if I pick him up when he's like his he head butts kicks scratches punches slaps flips himself backwards...I've tried to distract him take him outside or get his favourite toy even tried food everything I do makes him more and more angry! If I leave him to it he injures himself and these rages can last constantly for well over an hour and he can be sick a number of times!
I can't help crying i cant take anymore and I have no one who could help out in the situation or advise!
Anyone got any advise and is this really normal tantrums!
