The First-Time Parent’s Complete Guide to Toddler Tantrums
Mama, first... take a breath. If you’ve ever stood in the grocery store checkout line while your toddler melts down, feeling your face get hot and wondering if you are doing something completely wrong, you are not alone.
Here is the truth nobody warned us about: between 87 and 95% of toddlers have tantrums, and one in five two-year-olds has at least one every single day.
