1. "This is common in the toddler and represents a loss of self-control."
2. "Remove the child from the area where the tantrum occurs."
3. "Provide a distraction for the child without giving in to the child's desire."

Rationale 1: This statement is accurate and reassures the mother that the behavior is a common age variation.
Rationale 2: The goal is to allow the toddler to regain control without a loss of self-esteem. Removing the child from the area will help the child to regain control.
Rationale 3: This is another activity to help the child regain control without a loss of self-esteem. By not giving in to the child's wishes, the child is not learning to use temper tantrums to get her way.
Rationale 4: This will provide a calming atmosphere that will help the child to regain control.
Rationale 5: It is not a good idea to recommend spanking to any parent. Spanking is counterproductive in helping the child regain control.
