Help šŸ˜© my little turned 3 and his tantrums turned destructive. Throwing toys, pushing, knocking things off of surfaces. When I do ā€œbreak timeā€ he just tears apart his room. I canā€™t ignore the tantrum because he destroys things and I canā€™t put him in time out for the same reason. I donā€™t know what to do!

Is he doing this for attention or because he is upset?

If heā€™s upset I would go big little feeling and acknowledge how heā€™s feeling (youā€™re really upset that weā€™re all done with the tablet), set the boundary (I canā€™t let you hurt our toys so Iā€™m going to put this way) and then redirect (letā€™s sit here on the couch together and take deep breaths until we feel better)

Calm and no reaction to encourage the behavior

I think the major goal is to prevent tantrums as much as possible. Knowing what can set them off and taking action well ahead of a tantrum. Give choices, make them feel useful, set expectations and follow through, give warnings for transitions, when theyre beginning to get upset try to mitigate w big little feelings advice

I had this situation where my kid was so worked up the only thing I could think to do was offer him a big hug. He just melted into my arms, once he was calm we talked about his choices and he course corrected and changed his behavior. Itā€™s worked well on numerous occasions, just an option to consider if it makes sense in that situation. Heā€™s much better and handling his emotions now it will get better.
