Managing tantrums in 2-year-olds can be challenging but staying calm and patient is going to help. Acknowledge your child's feelings so they feel they’re being understood and offer comfort and maybe a distraction such as a favourite toy or a change of scenery, to help redirect their focus. Establishing a consistent routine can also provide a sense of security, reducing the likelihood of tantrums. Severe temper tantrums in 2-year-olds is not uncommon but they shouldn’t be consistently happening. If you are concerned your little one is not responding to your strategies to manage their temper tantrums, seek the advice of a healthcare professional.
