A stubborn toddler, Sarah knows her mind. She knows what she does and does not want, even at a very young age. From a very young age she started to assert her authority on the family with baby tantrums. Sarah has not found lack of language to be a barrier. She communicates well even with a limited vocabulary and speech ability. She has developed some words to communicate like no, up, this and that.
Even though she is young she has discovered ways to communicate non verbally. screwing up her face when she does not like something or a huge grin if she gets her way. If she does not get what she wants, common responses are crying, yelling and screaming. The change to toddler actually marks a new era in skills and development.
Sarah’s tantrums have started a lot earlier in her life than her sisters ever did. Sarah is the queen of baby tantrums.
