Terrible two’s

Take away incentives, when they miss behave and talking them through your reasoning for it!

You don’t. That’s how they learn. Hold the boundary. I enjoy bratbusters on IG. their brains are so underdeveloped they don’t understand the therapy sessions

I don’t think you CAN stop them you just have to gradually help them express themselves in a healthy way and wait until they’re calm to explain things to them

You don’t. You teach other coping mechanisms and you keep yourself cool, calm, and collected to show your kids how to handle big feelings. It helps A LOT to look into child development and what behaviors are normal and appropriate for the developmental stage they are at so that you can manage your own expectations.

This 🙂

You honestly can’t stop them tbh. Just do your best to ignore and then redirect when the tantrum is over. It’s 100% developmentally appropriate for them to throw tantrums. What may seem like a small thing to you is actually the end of the world to them. I know it’s hard, but it’ll pass!

Ignore bad behavior, reward/praise good behavior. Keep your foot down when it comes to boundaries. I got nasty reactions cuz I would say “let her cry” but she needed to let go of those emotions and I wasn’t going to give in/cave just cuz she cried. We could talk about it and redirect when she was calm

I’m sorry you don’t 😥 wish it were that simple. What I have found helps is giving age appropriate but firm boundaries and sticking to them.

They're allowed to feel things, it's our jobs to keep our boundaries/rules. Age appropriate consequences. For example if my daughter doesn't hold my hand and I grab it and she falls out, I hold her. Sure it makes her mad but that's the consequence. She now holds my hand. If she's throwing toys I take them away for a few hours. All the while explain. I've been reading "happiest toddler on the block" and talking to her in cave speak"toddlerspeak" you can empathize and calm tantrums down faster. I've been doing it for a few days and idk I think it's helping. Perfect way they phrased is when your child does something rheyre excited about and accomplish you'd say omg you didn't the thing, you did____!! And you'd do similarly when ur child is upset. So "you're mad, mad, big mad and you want to do___, but___" it's a different approach I'm willing to try for now

You don’t. I just sit and laugh and it makes him even more mad😅😂

These 2 books really helped me:
-Love & Logic Magic for Early Childhood
-Hunt Gather Parent

You can get the audiobooks on Libby for free if you have a library card :)

Try teaching your kiddo some sign language, my kid used to throw tantrums and get pissed because he's couldn't communicate a need or want to us
