Toddler tantrums hitting peak intensity – how do you stay patient?

Lately, my two-year-old has been throwing these epic tantrums that feel like they last forever. It’s like every tiny frustration turns into a full meltdown, and honestly, it’s exhausting. I’ve tried distraction, offering choices, even just giving her some space, but nothing seems to really calm her down quickly. Sometimes I find myself getting frustrated, which only makes things worse. I know this is a normal phase, but it’s tough to keep my cool when it’s happening multiple times a day. I’d love to hear how other parents have managed these intense tantrums without losing their patience. Did you find any tricks or routines that helped diffuse the situation faster? Or ways to prepare yourself emotionally for these moments? Any advice or shared experiences would be so appreciated!
