What should you do when your 2 year old is throwing a screaming tantrum?

When your 2-year-old is having a screaming tantrum, remain calm and avoid escalating the situation. Acknowledge their feelings by offering comfort and reassurance, but set clear boundaries. Try to distract them with a different activity or toy, or give them a moment to express their emotions. If necessary, create a safe space for them to calm down before discussing the behavior.
