@rae29 A lot of other comments are saying this, but a good rule of thumb is to provide emotional support as kiddo works through his feelings, but NOT give into whatever ridiculous demand caused them. So- give hugs, acknowledge the frustration, promise to cut tomorrow’s sandwich in whatever way he wants. When his body has calmed down, he can eat this sandwich if his tummy is hungry.
The emotions are real and intense for toddlers, so it’s a good time to model calmness as a parent.
