Toddler tantrums? More calm at home with parenting support in Amstelveen

Does your toddler often have tantrums?

Does your toddler regularly have tantrums where nothing seems to help? Does your child get angry about something small and then seem impossible to comfort?

Tantrums in toddlers can be intense for you as a parent, especially when they happen often. You want to help your child, but you may wonder: am I doing this right?

You are not the only one. Many parents in Amstelveen and the surrounding area look for help with toddler tantrums and more calm at home.

Do you recognize this in your toddler?

• Tantrums over the "wrong" socks or cup
• Struggles around eating, getting dressed or going to bed
• Your toddler gets angry quickly and is hard to comfort

These moments can repeat daily and take a lot of energy. You try to stay calm, but become frustrated yourself.

Why do toddlers have tantrums?

• Tantrums are part of toddler development
• A young child's brain is not yet developed enough to regulate emotions well, so small frustrations can quickly grow into big tantrums

What can you do during a tantrum?

This helps your toddler gradually learn to deal with emotions better.

• Stay as calm as possible yourself
• Show understanding for your child's situation
• Set clear limits around behavior
• Stay available, with closeness or some space if that is needed

What often does not work?

This can make tantrums happen more often or become more intense.

• Responding angrily or strictly
• Giving in to stop the tantrum
• Continuing to talk and explain during the tantrum
• Completely ignoring your child

When can parenting support help?

Sometimes you notice that things no longer improve on their own.

You as a parent:

• Regularly feel guilty after an outburst
• Wonder whether this is still normal in parenting
• Send your child to the stairs more often than you actually want
• Want more calm, but do not know how to respond
