How do you stay calm during your toddler’s tantrums?

If you’re really dysregulated just leave the room, it’s better than getting mad or aggressive. Use that as an opportunity to calm down.

I saw this reel that said look at their little hands and feet to remind you they’re just a little person having big feelings and they need you to help regulate their emotions.

I only have girls but most of the time my girls tantrum when they’re hungry or tired, there’s usually something happening to their body to make the tantrum really escalate

I'll usually do a dance, to hopefully get my kid from tantrum to dancing with me lol

I try to understand what is going on for her, what the situation is like for her. In the end they have big feelings and are not trying to be mean, manipulate or whatever.

I offer a hug and help to solve the problem, which works usually very well. Also tantrums come more when hungry, stressed or tired…
I would offer her a solution that is close enough to what she wants but what I can allow

I send mine to lie down in his room to let him cry.. then I put on noise cancelling earbuds and have a coffee…and watch him through the baby monitor camera. When he calms down without falling asleep I will pick him up and give him a cuddle.

I think a lot of tantrums are triggered by teething, illness etc. Once you have offered food/water/medicine there’s not much you can do. They wanted to be held all day but that’s not possible if your child is heavy.
