I have a 21 month old daughter and she does this rarely, but it happens time to time. Distracting still works with here. It really depends a lot on, how she has slept, eaten, how much anger there was between siblings earlier, stuff like that.
If it absolutely does not make sense giving her what she wants, we usually will not give it to her, like she wanted to take a suitcase with here when we went to the playground. She started to cry and I had to carry her for 10 minutes while trying to make her happy again. If it happens allll the time and it works for him, like he gets what he wants. Im pretty sure its learned.
Yeah the child's mood is an important factor too. Which is why I asked for anecdotes rather than concrete advice because there are a million small factors that I cannot lay out. Thank you.
