When Toddlers Have Tantrums

Toddlers can't always express their feelings with words. The way they let you know if they are tired or upset is with a temper tantrum. Try this:

  • Distract the child and redirect his or her attention to something else.
  • Put the child in time out so everyone can calm down.
