A parent of a toddler asks a nurse at a well-child visit how the child's frequent temper tantrums can best be handled. Which of the following actions should the nurse suggest to the parent?

A. Distracting the child might work temporarily but does not address the underlying behavior. B. Simply telling the child that temper tantrums are not acceptable may not be effective and can lead to power struggles. C. Ignoring the temper tantrums is often the best approach as it does not reinforce the behavior. Consistent, calm, and neutral responses can help reduce tantrum frequency. D. Restraining the child physically can escalate the situation and is not a recommended approach.
