My 21 month old has just started throwing terrible tantrums and I was wondering what methods people have found successful for dealing with them. Today I had her proper screaming for a whole hour because I'd gone into the fridge for some milk and not gave her any cheese! I try distracting her with books, toys etc. I try cuddling her. I've tried giving her a mini time out sitting on the sofa - just to soothe her and see if she'll calm down rather than punish her - and this often works but sometimes she gets herself so het up I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. Of course when DH comes home she's all smiles and he thinks I'm making it all up and there's no way she could have been such a wee horror!
