It's critical to remember that toddlers are still learning how to handle big feelings, and as their brain develops, so will their ability to self-regulate.

Gentle Parenting and Tantrum Tips
Gentle parenting emphasizes respect, empathy, and understanding your child's needs. It's about guiding rather than controlling. Here's how to put these principles into practice:
- Acknowledge Their Feelings: Help your toddler put words to their emotions. Phrases like "I see you're upset" can help validate their feelings.
- Stay Calm: Easier said than done, right? Even so, being a calm mom during a stormy tantrum can set a powerful example. Try deep breathing or counting techniques to maintain your composure. Read more on Staying Calm.
- Set Clear and Consistent Boundaries: Enforce rules gently but firmly so your child has clear expectations.
