How to handle toddler tantrums?

I have a 2 year old daughter and recently she will start whining out of nowhere then make herself cry and it just gets worse if I try to talk to her or ask her what’s wrong. Is it attention cries? I’ve tried to comfort her and I’ve tried ignoring her. Nothing helps. Any advice is very needed!!

If she’s not crying for a particular reason let her cry be ignore it
Once she sees that your not far falling for it she will stop

When she is finished ask her if there is something I can help her with

I hate to say it… Get used to it. She is two and a girl it’s a hard life LOL my three-year-old will start crying out of nowhere for no reason of all and then come tell me that she cries​:person_shrugging::person_facepalming:… I call her my drama queen lol

My 2 year old does it however i ignore it and she forgets what she was crying about

My 2 yr old does it too! It’s an age thing lol

Just ignore it. I use to be the same way try and comfort her, but I caught on fast that it didn’t help only made it worse and she really had no reason. I started ignoring her and even though she kept crying she eventually stopped and then went back to playing. She finally realized she wasn’t going to get attention from that and stopped. Now at 3 she will baby talk when we do anything and not use her actual words which is more annoying. I told her if she keeps doing that she doesnt get anything or I wont play with her if I don’t understand her. She’s stopping that now too lol

Maybe a bladder infection? It could be burning when she pees

My two year was really whining for several days and I didn’t know why. He kept covering his mouth so I kept looking for new teeth or something but then I looked in the crease of his gum and lip - he had a canker sore. I would’ve never thought about but he whined for three days before I found it.

Could be she’s very lonely, need social interaction or something. Sit down with her and watch cartoon of her choice or tv cartoons.

Ask her why are you crying if nothing’s wrong walk away and pretend it’s not happening if you fuss over it Well she’s getting what she wanted

Lol her diagnosis sounds like the terrible 2s, may the odds be ever in your favor

Ignore and move on to something else, a distraction

Don’t try to make sense of 2 year olds. She’s 2. It’s normal.

Its totally normal lol unless its legit id ignore it

Check the diaper, check if she hungry, sleep, safe, fever, give her favorite toy, ignore for ten minutes. Try pictures, sign language try to encourage use language if it continues take to pedestrian to rule out sickness. If after all No reason ignoring, time out, put her in her room it will stop. If it continues and she doesn’t stop for months then and sign language, gestures, pointing, pictures, some way you two can not get to understand each other you may need to go back to pedestrian. This is all normal they are learning to get your attention and get their needs meet. Maybe a as little as a hug or just to let you know they are in the room. If all they needs of shelter, food, safety, and health are meet then you are good. But at some point you do need to establish a form of communication that is where the pediatrician comes back in.
