How do you handle tantrums?

Avery

My son is 15 months and starting to have little tantrums now when I won’t let him have something he wants or won’t let him walk where he wants (he just started walking). He’ll cry, scream, and every once and a while hit. As of right now I’m just ignoring it and going on as if it isn’t happening but am wondering what other parents do and what works for you. Thank you ☺️
