When your toddler throws a tantrum try to figure out what triggered it. Is he hungry, tired, uncomfortable or is he just being manipulative? If your shopping in the mall and your toddler has a meltdown he may just be overheated in his winter coat. Knowing what triggers the tantrum is the first step in preventing it in the future and calming him down faster.

The first thing you should do when your toddler gets completely carried away is to step back and observe. Let him express his frustrations for a while, as long as he is doing it in a safe fashion. Assure him periodically that you understand he is upset and will be happy to talk to him when he calms down. For younger toddlers, I keep asking if she's ready for a hug yet, expressing that I am ready to soothe her when she's ready to calm down.

Don't try to reason with them or explain what they are doing is wrong. Definitely do not give in to any manipulation! Toddlers are very smart and you will be having a lot of tantrums in the future if they realize that tantrums get them what they want.

When your toddler calms down, give him some love and attention. Spend time reading him books while cozying together on the couch or get down on the floor and play with his favorite toddler toy together. Discuss with him what went wrong and how he could have behaved in the future. We always start the discussion by saying, "Wow! That was a lot of crying!". And my toddlers usually have to agree!

Now that a new member of the family is about to arrive in your home, he will need to share you with the new baby. He sees the baby as a competition for your attention and love. Your toddler fears the time when he'll be cast aside and the baby will forever take his place in your heart. From a toddler's perspective, this is a big change, and change is something that doesn't sit too well among children this age.

Your toddler probably has a lot of questions as to why you're bringing another baby in the house. Aside from thinking of a good answer for 'How was the baby made?' you need to prepare your child for the big transition. Below are some ways to help your tot handle the situation.

1. Guide Him Through His Expectations

There are probably a thousand things going on in your toddler's mind right now. To help him with the confusion, spend some time with him to talk about what to expect when the baby arrives. Give him a time frame when the baby is due (at summer, when school starts, etc.) and let him know what the baby will do for the next couple of months of its life (eat, sleep, cry, etc.). Doing so will help relieve his anxiousness over the situation.

Is he hungry, tired, uncomfortable or is he just being manipulative? If your shopping in the mall and your toddler has a meltdown he may just be overheated in his winter coat.
