Also a very important things with toddlers, mean what you say and say what you mean - if you threaten or promise something - follow through with it otherwise next time your words will be meaningless.
Think before you say something as once you say no - you shouldnt go back on this or next time they will just nag you for longer to try and get their own way.
Also think about your answer if they want to do somethingyou would rather not - is it worht the trouble / tantrum? Do they want to wear their wellies with their shorts- does it matter? might not be what you want them to wear but it is not really important...
Good advice Charmaine, I totally agree, I can only add that most tantrums with mine have been from hunger or tiredness so be prepared, plan around nap times if possible and always carry a healthy snack for them so you can prevent the energy slump and accompanying whinging, hopefully before it starts to become a full blown tantrum
