Why Do Toddlers Have Tantrums?

Hello beautiful people ❤️❤️❤️

As frustrating as tantrums can be, they are a normal part of your little one’s development. They are most common in children aged 1-3 and might happen because your child is tired, hungry, or overstimulated.

 Your toddler might have a tantrum simply because she wants her Fruits cut into star shapes instead of hearts. 

I’m sure your burning question is, “Why do toddlers have tantrums?” or “How on earth am I supposed to handle this?” 

Well, I’m going to answer your questions in today’s post, so keep reading.

Toddlers are very small people with very big emotions. Their language skills are starting to develop, but they can’t talk well enough to convey what they want to say

Your toddler is starting to feel independent and like she can handle anything, even though she really can’t.

 It frustrates her when adults try to control everything she does, like when and what she eats and wears or when she sleeps. 

And she probably thinks, “Why do grownups care so much when I leave my toys on the floor? It makes them so much easier to play with.” 😆

Tiredness is one of the reasons why your toddlers throw tantrums. – Everyone gets grumpy when they’re overtired, and toddlers have less experience handling their feelings than we do.

✳️What Should I Do if My Toddler Has a Tantrum?

When your toddler is upset, having a tantrum.  or struggling to listen, get below their eye level.

This communicate to the brain there is no threat and help them calm down

♦️My final thought 

Like any other phase your child goes through, the tantrum stage is temporary and won’t last forever. Before you know it, you’ll be sending your little one off to school and the tantrum days will be a thing of the past .
