Have a look at my de-briefing, but Matilda tends to do a lot of self harm during tantrums. We are going to get some plans together for it. I honestly believe a lot of things work for one baby and not for another, but you can't find out unless you try to work it out.

When Matilda was younger, distraction was great... and the best way to avoid anything further.

Matilda does things like throw her whole body on the floor backwards and often will land on something because she doesn't look where she is going to fall. OR she will close her eyes & run around the house screaming, often going straight into a corner or a wall.

When she does this my main reaction is to put her somewhere she can't hurt herself. So we go into her room & close the door and I sit in there while she screams on her bed or around the room & when she starts to settle I cuddle her and talk to her about what has happened.
