Son waking up in full blown temper tantrums

[Cadillac]

if it's not night terrors, the tantrums are still very normal for little boys his age. many young ones do it and its a bit of a way to get all the emotions of the morning out, release pent up energy and even just sort through things in his own head (weird way to do it, i know)

I've known tons of little ones that wake up and tantrum.

Let him exhaust most of his energy and then gently and quietly go in and give him a big solid and tight hug for a minute or two. makes then feel safe and secure enough to calm down and move on with the day.

he'll probably struggle for a sec but help him with quiet susshing or a very quietly sung song he loves
