I feel for you. I'm 31, with twin 2 year old girls. They are just ramping up the terrible twos now.

Tantrums any time they don't get cookies for breakfast, tantrum if the other one is touching a toy that they weren't even playing with, tantrum if the other one looks at them funny, tantrum if I give one a hug and carry around the house to make them happy and don't pick up the other, and the best part is there's two of them throwing down and screaming and kicking!

So I've picked up some toddler books off amazon for behavior and sleep issues, trying to arm myself with knowledge of how I can better deal with the tantrums. We are also having problem with bedtime and we realized they aren't getting enough sleep, which could in turn lead to more tantrums. Just a thought.

This is the one I just started, I'm trying out some of the tactics already, saw it work 2 out of 3 times today so far. Haven't finished reading it yet, but I'm hopeful: [Happiest Toddler on the Block]

> When she does get upset, empathize by starting aloud why she is mad. Don't add judgment our explanation, just state your observation. "You're mad. You want xyz" can go a long way toward them feeling understood and calming down, even though they still don't get what they want.

Yes, this, absolutely. Acknowledging their feelings, wants, and desires makes them feel heard -- even if they don't end up getting what they want. I actually learned this trick from The Happiest Toddler On The Block; it works really, really well at stopping tantrums for us and, as a bonus, as the kid gets more verbal, they start telling you (in words!) what it is they want.
