I agree with Laura. Acknowledging their feelings and emotions is so important. We did that with our first baby, and now she's two and a half and she can tell us when she's feeling upset or frustrated. It's definitely helped cut down on the amount of toddler tantrums.

My son does it too. I comfort him, say I get he is frustrated/angry or what feeling he is expressing, and that is okay, I know the feeling, but he is not allowed to go in there, eat stones at the playground, or whatever is going on.

My son is very vocal he is a screamer and shouts and screeches but the last few weeks he started hitting himself on the side of his head if he is tired or frustrated and it freaks me out so I talked to his pedi and my sister who is a child physiologist. He is also cutting his 3rd molar so he has been really hard to handle the past few weeks. But with the hitting I pick him up and try to shift his attention to something he can have or do or feed him/put down for a nap if it's obvious he is tired- hold his hand so he can't hit and we tell him not to hit himself and he usually settles relatively quickly but this boy is hot headed 😂😳 I'm getting worried for when he hits the terrible two's....His brother was the quiet one for sure.
