  • That's pretty normal, actually. You are in for a loooong couple of years. :( http://www.parents.com/ This is a good site for some advice. I'd also suggest some googling, too. Support groups are a really good idea, as well. Try not to lose your temper and yell. You'll just stress yourself out and scare your child. Understand at his/her age they're the most selfish beings on Earth. Patience is your only hope. And do NOT feel bad about walking away and ignoring the demon that was once your child. Eventually he/she will learn. Eventually... Good luck :)
  • Stick them under a cold shower.
  • My son did this and the doctor told me to put him in a room and shut the door and not let him in until he calm down,only had to do this twice and when he realised that he wasnt getting the attention he craved he never did it again...hard to do but worth it:-)
  • However bad the tantrum, don't freak out about it. Never forget that when this happens you are engaged in a full scale battle of wills with your 2 year old and it is always a battle you must win . There is no point in doing or saying anything mid-tantrum, you have to wait until [he] has finished. The quickest way to bring it to an end is to leave him alone to get on with it. A full blown tantrum always requires an audience and any kid will soon stop if nobody is taking any notice. When he's done, just pick up where you left off making it clear that throwing a fit will not work now or ever when it comes to getting his own way. Just do not give in. You have to be the one in charge. When my son was a bit older than your child he threw a huge fit over something so I went and sat in the car on the driveway. It took under a minute for him to stop and look out of the window! Or, I would tell him if he was going to have a tantrum that was fine by me but he would have to do it in the garden on his own.
  • give him or her time out
