The one and only time my kid threw a temper tantrum, he made his body super stiff and threw himself backwards. Of course he hit his head on the ground, and started wailing louder. I laughed at him and said "that's what happens when you act like that", and he never did it again.

My 2yo nephew is in the "get mad, bang head on the ground in anger, get madder because now head hurts" phase and I hope he grows out of it soon

Try laughing at him. It worked for me!

He snaps out of it pretty quickly (and we do laugh at him which does seem to help) but his poor little head!

Universally this technique has worked on every child in my family.
