you see so much growth and learning that they can make decisions. getting speech down, feeding themselves.
my daughter only threw one tantrum that I recall. we were in target and she asked for something. once I said no, she balled out on the floor. I didn't try to reason with her or punishment. just picked her up, put her on my shoulder while she cried. as I was walking in the store, she got herself together and eventually settled into being too distracted by target to keep crying.
I hate seeing folks trying to 'win' the toddler fights. it looks crazy to me trying to reason with someone that clearly isn't logical.
