21mon old r very active n can't sit in one place for long, this is normal. However I have to be firm with him n not give in to his demands. U have to learn to ignore his crying, screaming n any other tantrums. Walk out of the room or place him in corner of room for 2 min (timeout) till his tantrums stop.

Ignore his tantrums. Submitting to his demands will further reinforce his behavior. The child is too small to consider the possibility of ADHD at this stage. These children may present like this in early stages.
