Hi Nick, I have a 25 month old daughter and I really want to help her meet her social needs because I think she's getting more stressed from being inside so much and it's causing her to act out/have more tantrums. She is so eager to play with other children, she'll try to initiate play in the middle of the supermarket. I have no idea what to do to help her have more socialisation, especially as she's an only child and we don't live near anyone we know with children. How can I help her meet her social needs and manage her emotions in general?

I know tantrums are normal but I definitely think the current situation isn't helping. It's stressful for all of us even toddlers, perhaps even more so because they can't understand what's going on. I hope you find a way to get your son the interaction with other children he needs soon!
