Toddler Tantrum Tracker
Typical tantrum frequency by age (peaks 2-3 years). Triggers, de-escalation tips, reassurance.
Common triggers
You’re right in the peak window (2—3 years). This is when brains are sprinting and language is still catching up.
De-escalation toolkit
- Name the feeling: “You’re angry because we had to leave.”
- Offer two acceptable choices instead of one demand.
- Reduce stimuli: dim lights, move somewhere quiet.
- Slow breathing together — blow out imaginary candles.
- Get low, stay calm, keep words short.
- Hold space — stay near without fixing, until the wave passes.
Top levers for your triggers: pre-empt hunger and sleep windows, narrate transitions 5 minutes ahead, and pre-plan choices for the friction points.
