I'm a speech-language pathologist specializing in working with toddlers with special needs. As you can imagine may day is full of several toddler tantrum episodes. Over the past ten years I have used these three main tips to help decrease toddler tantrums over time. Of course, these tips are not for everyone and you should defer to a child psychologist or behavior specialist.
