Predict and Prevent Toddler Tantrums

Toddlers all go through a clingy and grizzly stage to some extent. Often a toddler will be clinging and grizzly as a demand for more attention love and security. It may also mean that a child is not ready to separate from their parents yet. Sometimes when parents are stressed we want to be left alone which makes children more insecure.
