My toddlers tantrums are unbearable

I am struggling with the right way to deal with my toddlers tantrums, I never anticipated it could get so bad so early on. It’s usually when she wants something that she cannot have and when she wakes in the middle of the night for any reason and demands to open the door and go downstairs straight away. She gets so worked up, there is no way of calming her down to get her back to sleep so we have resorted to taking her down the stairs most times which is probably causing more of a problem but it’s the only way to calm her down. I’m just feeling so stuck because there just seems to be no way to stop the tantrum unless she gets what she wants. How are you dealing with tantrums at this age when they are unable to be reasoned with and they just cannot understand because I’m totally lost?

Following as I’m in the same boat with my LB god I didn’t expect them this bad so soon 🤦‍♀️ x

It’s so hard. Nothing can prepare you for this can it… it’s been a hard weekend and feel so low after non stop meltdowns.

I’ve made a cushion area in my little boys room, he’s 18 months, he can’t communicate yet and his tantrums sound much the same, he throws himself in the floor and thrashes sometimes hurting himself which makes him more upset, so when he kicks off and I can’t calm him down I just give him time out on his cushions laid out on the floor, sometimes he’ll can down and start playing with his toys, or sometimes he gets more upset because he dosent want to be in his room but at that point I’ll come back in to give him a hug because he’s no longer kicking off he’s just upset, I would love any advice or insight anyone has, this is just something I’ve found that works for both me and little one, I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do though

Sometimes I think teething has a part to play as well??
