Toddlers are fun, mobile and adventurer.. They are good imitators. They love fun, games, colors, and toys. That is why I love toddlers. On the other hand, children of age 1-3 years old like the word “NO”.They are negativistic.I hate them for having temper tantrums.That is why I am looking for a better idea how to handle toddler’s temper tantrums?

Yeah. I agree they will say what they do and do not like. That's really great. You have a good management skills when it comes to handling toddlers. I think you have that patient that others do not have. I like that. Good job, blue60. Thanks.

Again, other says there were no life when the house doesn't have a baby or toddlers. For me, toddlers are God's gift to make us life more lively, more vibrant.

Hi jho_anne2426,
I love toddlers, they are so sweet but I do agree that they get a handful when they throw tantrums, but you have to understand that they only want your attention and try to push you to the limit, so don't give in and they soon pipe down.

Some mother says that they have these temper tantrums because they can't express much what they want or do not want to. Tamara, maybe it's a part of toddler's life. That's them. So whether we like it or not, we have to accept and love them. Thanks for loving them. They are God's gifts!

With my son I tell him that his behavior is not acceptable and I will not tolerate it. He gets told one time and one time only to stop. If his behavior continues I remove him from the situation and place him in his crib until he is calm then I return when he is calm and tell him how proud of him I am that he calmed himself on his own, we then continue our day with no further discussion about his behavior. It only took 3 days of this constant guidence to get him to understand that mommy means no the first time. He still tests me at times, but I respond the same every time.

According to pediatric book, The best way to control temper tantrums, you must ignore them. Let him realize that what he did is wrong. Thanks.
