How do I get a toddler to stop throwing a tantrum?

I’m afraid I’m not good at advice in this area! But I do know there are a lot of guides out there online, and what I’ve read seems to suggest that a lot of toddlers just need to run out their energy and be tired.

No he could go on for hours.

Oh, in that case... I do know some “divide and conquer” advice that you can try, which is to move the person physically farther from what he wants.
assistant
Any other advice?

I think the only other thing to mention is that it can be useful to look at the whole situation in a way that makes more sense. For example, if a kid is throwing a tantrum because he’s hungry, and mom doesn’t feed him immediately, it would be a lot more helpful to know that he is hungry than to respond by forcefully changing his diaper or giving him a bottle, because that would only make him more upset.
