Toddlers are possibly the most challenging era of childhood for parents to navigate. In zero seconds, a toddler can go from happy and smiling to a full-out temper tantrum. There is no rhyme or reason. It just happens. There is no way to determine what will trigger a tantrum or how severe it will be. Once you have an angry toddler, peace is the only objective.
