Mommies with toddlers

Ignore her while she's having one. My dd is 20 months old and loves temper tantrums!

My son hasn't gotten to the age where he throws bad ones. I've been around my niece and nephew who were terrible with tantrums though. Right now when he starts throwing a tantrum I try to talk to him and redirect him to do something else. 

Maggie gets one warning to calm down, and if she doesn't calm down after that warning she goes to her room to calm down. It has worked pretty well, we usually only have to give her the warning and she'll calm down. We started that between 15 & 18 months, she is three now.

Ignore them (unless it's threatening safety) and praise tons for good behavior. Fortunately my kids have hardly ever thrown fits.

If I sense that they are starting to lose control, I will say something like: "you need to get in control of yourself" in a fairly soft voice. That is more attention getting than trying to talk louder than them.

Ignore the tantrums

I am getting better, Mason will throw them usually when he's tired or doesn't get his way. I just let him and then calmy take him out of the situation. If we are out in public, I take him out of the store or place. If at home, I take him to his room and calm him down.

ignore, re-direct, distract, time-out
