Temper tantrums are a normal part of toddler development, often triggered by frustration, tiredness, hunger or limited language.
1. Key points
- Staying calm and keeping the child safe is the first step.
- Avoid giving in to the demand that caused the tantrum.
- Prevent triggers: routines, snacks, naps and simple choices.
- Talk to a pediatrician if tantrums are very frequent, long or harmful.
2. Naming feelings
Helping kids name emotions ('You're mad because...') builds skills to cope.
