Tantrum triage

Before you start
There is no right answer here and nothing is scored. Each option says what usually happens next and why. You know your child and we don't. It is not advice, and it is not about a child who is being harmed or hurting themselves; that belongs with a health visitor, a GP or a paediatrician.
