[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the replies! Makes me feel better that this is pretty normal for his age. I'll try the suggestions and try to be consistent, give natural consequences, teach him some coping skills and let him have his big feelings without trying to rationalize it. My husband tends to do the latter and tries to find some logic during his tantrums to try to fix it, which only makes him even more frustrated when it doesn't work. What has worked for him in the past to calm him down during a tantrum is going to his crib. Not as a time out as we sit in the room with him but it's his safe space and he actually used to ask for his crib when he gets upset. We recently transitioned to a twin bed so we no longer have that option.[/quote]
