How do you know whether your toddler's behavior is just to be expected or that he/she is what seems to have been coined as \"spirited?\"
DS has been very clear about what he wants, likes/dislikes from very very early on. And now at 15 months old, he gets very angry if you take something away from him, tell him\"no\" (he will go and bang his head -- softly -- on the floor, sofa, wall) and you can't get him to do anything you want him to do. At the same time, he's very affectionate and social, but you can see he has a temper.
So how do I know if his actions are normal or if I should start hitting the books on disciplining \"spirited\" kids?
