One of the most challenging periods in raising children is during their toddler years. However, tantrums are not only challenging to the parent; they are also puzzling to the child. The toddler years are the most challenging, so you have to girt up your loins and get prepared because it is time to get dirty. Though this period is usually very challenging, it is also advantageous if well managed. To succeed during this stage, you have to understand your child’s challenge. At age two, your child is going through very severe changes in their brain. This is also the time they learn about their environment and learn how to get along with people. At this point, they do not have a good understanding of how to communicate; for this reason, they adopt tantrums as a way to express their emotions. Though the tantrums stage feels like forever, there are things a parent can consciously do to minimize their occurrences and as time goes on, manage them when they occur and speed up the phase so that their children can start living a tantrum-free life.
