Toddler tantrums?

Help a mama out please!! My first born daughter never had them. My son however is 2 a week on Tuesday, and all I can say is wow!!! Where did these come from??? He's full on started throwing himself on the floor, hitting things, throwing things, screaming, getting cross etc. Like where have I gone wrong?? How do we navigate through it? Any tips? I also have a 5m old baby girl. I can't help but feel so guilty incase it's me who's caused his tantrums?

Pretty normal for a toddler lol, you cant really compare him to your daughter. The best you can do is remain calm, let them know you are there and show them healthy responses to difficult emotions. Taking deep breaths, laying down with a blanket, etc. Obviously if he's hitting or being aggressive you need to sternly let him know that's not OK but don't get mad back. If they're like 4 or 5 acting this way there may be some behavioral issues that need to be addressed but 2...yeah sounds pretty typical!

@Jen I'm not by any means comparing him I was just saying I've not experienced it with her

Wasn't trying to assume you were...I think what I mean is that it's doubtful it's anything you are doing wrong just pretty normal sounding and every little is different.
