Hey all! I’ve been struggling with my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She is prone to tantrums and will lose her mind over the smallest things. I know this is typical behavior at her age, but I wanted to see if you all had any advice. Any recommendations for helping a toddler remain more consistently calm?
Some solid advice here. I’ll throw one more in that is absolutely essential for my 2.5 year old: the 5-minute warning.
Before anything ends, it’s critical to provide sufficient advance notice, no matter what is happening/happening next. Kids lose their shit when they’re surprised to find out they have to shift gears.
