How To Avoid Frequent Tantrums?
My toddler fell hard on her chin and has since has 4 extreme meltdowns . To this point she hadn t really started having tantrums so I don t know if this is what s going on. It seems way more than a typical tantrum and she can t calm down. It lasts 15-25 min and she doesn t want to be held but doesn t want to be put down..nothing helps.

Thanks for the question.
By description it seems to me that the child has more than the superficial injury of chin,
There may be deeper wound which is not apparent and causing pain.
First you Calm down, so that child feels safe.
Holding her close might be hurting her somewhere.
Examine her closely, gently asking her where the pain is.
It is advisable in such cases to show to a doctor.
