thanks for the advice I did take my human growth and devolpment and I have an associates in psychology but I couldn't find it anywhere in my brain last night hahaha, stress I suppose. But yes I did the time outs and they finally worked. I didn't realize I hard it is to balance school and a 1 yr old but it will all be worth it soon very soon! And I don't hit or spank him unless he is deliberatly mean (which he is sometimes) I think he gets bored because he is so smart, he knew his colors at 1yrs old and is now 16months old. He figures out his toys and blocks and then doesn't play with them anymore. I would love to let him play outside all day which is why the tantrum was going on, but we got so much rain that I would fear him falling in a little puddle and me not seeing soon enough and then he would drown. But the sun is out and its 75F here so he's outside now with my inlaws having a blast!!! I will definatly use those stratagies you suggested though, so far so good hun.
And thanks again
