Are Temper Tantrums a Sign of Later Trouble?
You've heard of the terrible twos, but some outbursts start much earlier.
Question:
My 7-month-old is already having temper tantrums several times a day. My husband and I are extremely worried that this could be an early sign of emotional problems. Could this be the case?
Answer:
It may be an early sign that he is going to be a
temperamentally intense guy, but it is by no means a worry for later emotional
problems. The fact he is doing it earlier than most only means he's
developmentally advanced -- an intense temperamental genius in the
making!
Or not. Sometimes the most intense babies morph into the most laid-back
toddlers. You never know!
Good luck.

Getting your kids to eat right in the summer can be no picnic. But a little pre-planning can keep them away from the junk food, at least some of the time.
