Are you at your wit's end with your toddler? Read on to discover how you can tame your little monster.

In children between the ages of 1 and 5, temper tantrums are common, and up to 83% of 2-4 year olds have them regularly.

No matter how well you know that this is an important part of their development, it can take its toll when you're facing yet another meltdown about the carrots being the wrong shape.

Do any of the below sound familiar?

• Refusing to get dressed
• Screaming blue murder because you asked them to put their shoes on
• Throwing their breakfast on the floor because the spoon's the wrong color
• Inconsolable tears because the cat went outside

Every parent goes through this. Toddlers are at a stage where they are developing their independence and pushing boundaries, and they have more feelings than they can understand or express.

How many times have you given in to them for the sake of a quiet life?

Most parents have, and if you've done it, you know that it doesn't help you out in the long term.

So how can you handle your toddler's tantrums in a way that minimizes damage, ends the drama as quickly as possible, and sets your child on the road to being a confident, happy child?

The answer lies within positive discipline, a behavioral management technique that reduces the drama and allows you to set clear boundaries your toddler will understand.

All too often, we resort to punishments, but time and time again, research has shown us that this is useless.

Positive discipline is built around empathizing with your child, giving them space to feel their feelings, and helping them find solutions to their problems.

By rejecting traditional discipline models of reward and punishment, you can create mutual respect between you and your child, improving their confidence and self-esteem for life.
