Handling a toddler’s tantrum can be challenging, and sometimes, our reactions might unintentionally prolong things.
✨ Reacting too quickly or showing annoyance can actually worsen the tantrum.
✨ While time-outs are a common strategy for overwhelmed parents, they can exacerbate feelings of isolation in a struggling toddler.
✨ Trying to reason with your toddler during a tantrum often proves futile, as they are too overwhelmed emotionally to understand logical explanations or warnings.
✨ Surprisingly, the most effective approach might be to simply take a step back, keep your emotions under control, and allow the tantrum to fizzle out.
