Tantrums are common&nbsp;at this age because toddlers are becoming independent&nbsp;and developing their own wants, needs, and ideas.&nbsp;However, they are not yet able to express their wants and&nbsp;feelings with words. Take comfort in the fact that most&nbsp;children outgrow tantrums by age 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Might Be Seeing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Most toddlers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Love to say \u201cNo!\u201d \u201cMine!\u201d and \u201cDo it myself!\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test rules over and over to see how parents will react<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are not yet ready to share<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Need lots of fun activities, play times, and opportunities&nbsp;to explore the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond well to a routine for sleeping and eating (a&nbsp;regular schedule)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Like to imitate grownups and to \u201chelp\u201d mom and dad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember: When your child is having a&nbsp;floor-thumping tantrum, the most important&nbsp;thing you can do is remain calm and wait it&nbsp;out. Do not let your child\u2019s behavior cause you&nbsp;to lose control, too.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Can Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is often easier to&nbsp;<strong>prevent tantrums<\/strong>&nbsp;than to deal with&nbsp;them after they get going. Try these tips:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct your child\u2019s attention to something else.&nbsp;(\u201cWow, look at that fire engine!\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give your child a choice in small matters.&nbsp;(\u201cDo you want to eat peas or carrots?\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stick to a daily routine that balances fun activities with&nbsp;enough rest and healthful food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anticipate when your child will be disappointed. (\u201cWe&nbsp;are going to buy groceries for dinner. We won\u2019t be&nbsp;buying cookies, but you can help me pick out some fruit&nbsp;for later.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Praise your child when he or she shows self-control and&nbsp;expresses feelings with words.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you cannot prevent the tantrum,&nbsp;<strong>here are some tips for&nbsp;dealing with it:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Say what you expect from your child and have&nbsp;confidence that your child will behave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remain calm. You are a role model for your child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holding your child during a tantrum may help a younger&nbsp;child feel more secure and calm down more quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take your child to a quiet place where he or she can&nbsp;calm down safely. Speak softly or play soft music.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some children throw tantrums to seek attention. Try&nbsp;ignoring the tantrum, but pay attention to your child&nbsp;after he or she calms down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resist overreacting to tantrums, and try to keep your&nbsp;sense of humor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Source: Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2014 National Child Abuse Prevention Month Tip
