[quote=Anonymous]2.5 year old DS seems to have entered a hitting and bad tantrum stage (coinciding with dropping naps so not surprising I guess). He’s throwing really bad tantrums that I don’t know how to handle. He’ll start hitting and throwing things and trying to knock things down - generally doing things that are not safe. I can’t leave him be to wait out the tantrum because he will hurt himself or break something. But since everything he’s doing during the tantrum requires a no from me, he is getting even more upset and the tantrums escalate. What would you do to try to calm him and how do I stop the destructive behavior short of physically restraining him, which is what I’m ending up having to do? That does seem to work eventually to calm him but I’m getting hit in the process and he’s strong so physically restraining him can be difficult. If I do just sit and wait for him to calm down he does not. [/quote]
