Oh, I totally get it! Toddlers can be such a whirlwind of emotions. When my little one was in that phase, I found that staying calm myself was key. They pick up on our vibes, so I tried to model the calm I wanted to see. Sometimes, just sitting quietly nearby until they were ready to talk or cuddle worked wonders. Another trick that occasionally helped was offering choices. Giving them a bit of control, like choosing between two snacks or activities, sometimes diffused the tension. But honestly, sometimes nothing worked except waiting it out. You're definitely not alone in this! Here's hoping for more peaceful days for all of us. 😊
