My 2.5 year old daughter’s favourite blanket had gone for washing


She was sleepy, hungry, cranky and about to throw a tantrum


I used to show her just the 1 alternate blanket and say she can have this or none. She used to reluctantly accept


Last night, I showed her two blankets to choose from. She happily played with them and picked one.


Tantrums happen cause toddlers are still developing parts of their brains which help them regulate their emotions


Giving 2 pre-approved choices is a well known method to help them feel in control and regulate better
