Hello ladies! I have a 1.5 year old little boy. He has been having a lot of tantrums lately! I also have been trying to limit screen time. Any ideas or tips on how to handle these? Letting him cry it out makes me feel bad so I’m not too sure on what to do! TYIA 🙏🏻

We are on the same boat. I usually sit on the floor to be at his level and offer a hug. He will come to me and the tantrum stops. I just hug him and use comforting words and or correction words. Ex. We do not throw things please bring it to me. I know you are up set. it's ok or just embrace n say nothing. I also was weening him off the paci and now he is back to using it more often. 1.5 has been a challenge. 😅 Tell me it gets better! Can't wait till 2! lol

Some days are tougher than others! What ive noticed is we do best with zero screentime or super minimal like less than 15 minutes per day. And lots of outside time to get energy out and to be allowed to explore independently without being told "you can't touch this, you can't do that" etc. But also some days are just awash and you try again the next day 😅

Same here! I just got some feeling posters off Etsy for $ 2 and am going to laminate them so we can show him he’s feeling angry and when he’s calm/happy again we can go back to playing/ going about his day but throwing is not okay. Just trying to make it visual for him with the feelings he has but doesnt yet understand. Not sure how it will go though. Wish us luck lol
