3 year olds tantrums....help!

My little boy was the most placid laid back child ever....until now! I literally can’t cope with his tantrums. When I say tantrums, I think that’s mild! He literally goes mad for hours! Screaming, kicking, hitting. Like something possessed. It’s happening at least 4 times a day and I can’t cope anymore. I have tried everything...ignoring him, distracting and reasoning and nothing helps. My little girl is headstrong and has tantrums but nothing like this.
Is there something wrong with him?
He seems well behaved at nursery as far as I know but it’s like I don’t know who he is anymore at home. I’m worried I’ve done something wrong and have damaged him in some way!
Tonight he did it when I was collecting my daughter from her brownies and one parent stared at me with such hate, continuously shaking his head! That was the last straw and I came home and sobbed and sobbed. My poor little girl was cuddling me and now I feel terrible for letting her see me like that.
He is such a lovely little boy when you don’t say no to him but if you do all hell Breaks loose at the slightest thing.
Any advice, has he got something wrong with him?! Should I take him to see someone? 😔

You haven't done anything wrong, and you certainly have not damaged him, please don't think that way. Have these tantrums recently started? what triggers them? I wonder if it's frustration, is he able to communicate with you effectively (to meet his needs, and to share his world with you)?
