My 15 month old sometimes works herself into a giant tizzy when she tantrums and I don't really know how to deal with it.

Today she ran into the office and started banging on the computer keyboard and when I took her away, she got really upset and threw a giant tantrum.

Attempts to distract her with books, songs, nursing, iPhone only made her more upset. I tried rocking her, holding her & patting her back and she would calm down for about 2 seconds before starting to wail again.

I had hoped to calm her down before putting her down for a nap but it didn't seem like anything was helping, so I just put her in her crib and hoped for the best. She fell asleep within 30 seconds.

What helps your LOs calm down after a tantrum?
