The 5 Tantrum Types Playbook

You’ve tried the Instagram scripts. You’ve validated the big feelings. You’ve held space, used your calmest voice, and stayed regulated through a 45-minute tantrum over a banana cut the wrong way.

And it didn’t work.

Here’s why: gentle parenting scripts aren’t wrong. They’re just designed for one type of tantrum. Your kid might be a different one.

The 5 Tantrum Types

  • The OverwhelmerSensory overload at parties, grocery stores, loud rooms.
  • The Boundary-TesterHits when you say no, tests every limit.
  • The DisconnectorWorse after daycare, after a new sibling, after goodbye.
  • The Hangry/TiredAngelic at 10am, demon by 4pm.
  • The Transition-HaterEvery stop-and-start is a fight.

Most kids are a primary type with a secondary blend. The Playbook covers all 5 — and the page-1 self-assessment helps you double-check the quiz result.

What you actually get

For each of the 5 types — 2 pages:
  • The diagnosis — what’s actually happening in their nervous system
  • 4 triggers that make it worse
  • 3 things NOT to do (the well-meaning advice that backfires)
  • 3 word-for-word scripts you can use TODAY
  • A 3-day reset that breaks the pattern

Plus a printable cheat sheet for the fridge — for the moment when you need it most.

This is for you if:

  • Your child is roughly 18 months to 6 years old
  • You’ve read the books, watched the reels, and the tantrums are still happening
  • You’re tired of one-size-fits-all advice
  • You want scripts you can actually say in the moment, not theory

This is NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking for a behavioral chart system or sticker rewards
  • You think the answer is harsher discipline
  • You want clinical guidance for a specific diagnosis (this isn’t a substitute for OT or clinical care — we tell you on page 12 when to seek that)

One important thing

I’m not a child psychologist. I’m a parent who got tired of advice that only sometimes worked. The Playbook is built on developmental research and what real parents have told me actually flips the moment — not theory. If your kid’s tantrums are involving severe self-harm, sleep regression past 3 weeks, or significant developmental concerns, the Playbook tells you exactly when to see a professional.

FAQ

Will this work for a 2-year-old? A 5-year-old?
Yes. The 5 types apply across roughly 18 months to 6 years. Each chapter has age-specific notes.
What if my child is a blend of two types?
Most kids are. The Playbook tells you which type to start with and how to layer the second.
Is this gentle parenting?
It’s compatible with gentle parenting, but it’s more honest about why some scripts fail. If gentle parenting hasn’t been working for your kid, this is probably why.
