Toddlers have tantrums because they seek autonomy but lack the language skills to express their needs.
Tantrums indicate a toddler's growing independence and help them learn to navigate emotions.
Stay calm, acknowledge their feelings, and provide comfort while setting clear boundaries.
While not all can be prevented, maintaining routines and offering choices can reduce their frequency.
Encourage simple words, use visual cues, and model clear communication to enhance their language skills.
