Terrible Two’s? What’s that? When Hayden was two, that was a piece of cake! It should be called the Terribly Horrific, I need a glass of wine Threes.
Now that Hayden is three, he definitely has a mind of his own. He is constantly sharing his opinions with me, good or bad. While that is wonderful, it also means that if anything doesn’t go his way (in home or in public) he will let me know by having a good ol’ tantrum!
The first thing I do when trying to handle a temper tantrum is calm him down and tell him why he cant do that or can’t have that. Now that he is getting older, he is starting to understand more about WHY. If that doesn’t work, I always try distraction. Distraction works for us about 95% of the time, whether it be a toy or my iPhone.

My 18 month old daughter throws self-destructive temper tantrums. In other words, she slams her head into something, whether it be the dishwasher, the walls, or the floor. I’ve tried several different things to stop this from happening, including holding her, which only causes her to try and hit me. What seems to work is a good ‘ole timeout. When I notice one coming on, either because I’ve told her no, or I’ve taken something away from her, I tell her “No fits”. If she continues I put her in her pack-and-play and leave the room until she calms down. She can’t really hurt herself in there, all she can do is throw herself against the netting on the inside. It usually takes about 2 minutes, and then she’s ready to talk. I then tell her why she got a timeout. The next time I sense a fit coming on I say “No fits, or you’re going to get a timeout”, and believe or not this will sometimes end the argument.
