Oh, the toddler years are definitely an adventure! π
When my little one went through that stage, I found that sometimes just acknowledging their feelings helped. Saying something like, "I see you're upset," can make them feel understood. It doesn't always stop the tantrum, but it can sometimes shorten it.
Another thing that worked for us was using a "calm down corner" with some soft toys or a favorite book. It gave them a space to reset. Also, if you're out and about, singing a familiar song or playing a little game like "I Spy" can sometimes redirect their attention. Hang in thereβyou're doing great, and this phase will pass! π
