What does you almost 2 or 2 year olds tantrums look like?!? New mom and I feel like my sons extreme but I’m not sure

Question

Answer

My son turned 2 in October and doesn’t really have big tantrums but when he’s upset he likes to whine a lot and will not let me or my husband (depending who he wants attention from) go anywhere without being held. He mostly wants comfort and if something happened ie we say no to something or he gets in trouble he will usually make that face so it doesn’t last very long gosh he’s adorable. When my daughter was 2 and upset she’d throw furniture on the floor lmao. Glad that phase is over.

Answer

My 2 year old doesn’t really throw tantrums, mostly he just cries. He likes to take his vitamins so he will ask to take more than he’s allowed per day and when told no he will cryyyyyy like I just broke his heart and say please oh please and he gets very one track minded about what he wants but that’s basically it. If I give him a hug or explain that he can have them tomorrow or just give him a few minutes of space he usually gets over it fine.

Answer

My 2 year old son will cry and lay down on the floor (either with his face in his hands, or kicking his feet). He'll try to get us to pick him up and take him when he wants to go. I have him hold my hands, relax for a second, and then give him a snack or toy or something. Getting him to stop crying and just relax kind of ends the mood and redirection saves us about 99% of the time lol

Answer

Stops and lays on the ground, quietly 🤦🏼‍♀️ no screaming, no crying, just frustrated on the ground, no matter where we are lol or he would just stand on the same spot and cry. My daughter just cried. They tried to make a scene 1 or 2 times, but I ignored it completely and they realized it’s not gonna work— never did again

Answer

Very short lived and infrequent. She will occasionally get down on the floor while screaming a bit if we want to interrupt her reading, but she responds well to age-appropriate explanation. Otherwise she might do a screaming/crying fit if she doesn’t get her way for two minutes and then cools down when we talk to her.

Answer

My son never really threw huge tantrums. He'd try but learned very early on they didn't do anything for him. He's 3 and will sometimes make this weird growl/cry sound or scream but mostly he just stomps his little body to his room to cool off. (That is where I always took him and would talk to him about calming down in his room.)
My daughter, she's a different story. She's 1 (15 months) and around 11 months she started throwing herself down and screaming. Sometimes she'd even throw whatever she had. I think she's learning it doesn't work because she's not doing it nearly as much as she used to. Her attitude is something fierce though.

Answer

My 2 year old daughter doesn't really throw major tantrums. She usually just cries for a few minutes, sometimes she will lay on the floor and cover her face but that's about it. She's actually very good at expressing her feelings verbally so I think that's why her tantrums are not that bad.

Answer

Mine threw the worst tantrums. He would throw his whole body on the floor and just scream. He ended up needing speech and occupational therapy. He also had tubes placed in his ears.

Answer

I have a 3 year old and a 15 month old. Neither one throws tantrums yet. My 3 year old had about two weeks before he turned 3 where he would cry over the littlest things, but he got over it. There was no screaming, kicking, hitting, or throwing himself on the ground like I've heard about. 
From the beginning, I worked with my kids on telling me what's wrong in a positive way. Now, both of mine are speech delayed.. so for them "telling" is really just showing me, by getting my attention (usually pulling on my sleeve or patting me) and then taking me to whatever is bothering them or pointing to whatever is bothering them. It's worked so far.

Answer

My son would scream cry and occasionally hit his head on the ground for attention(nothing wrong just phase) after a few minutes he would calm down though.
