Yes, my friend’s son started screaming and whining and throwing tantrum when he was around 2.5 years old. Her son is easily agitated and would scream whenever he cannot get his message across. In the early days, he would get even more frustrated as my friend ignored his attempts and he would scream even louder trying to get her attention. My friend went through almost a year of teaching and “conditioning” before he finally learned that those methods are ineffective in getting my friend to respond to him. What my friend did was to "not react" to his tantrum behaviour. She was firm and consistent. She would stay around while he screams and say calmly to him that she would only help him after he is done with his screaming. In the meantime, she had to put on a calm face and wait patiently for him to tone down. She would then explain to him after the tantrum episode that he will need to speak in his normal voice in order to her to understand him and help him. Over time, her son learned and the tantrum behaviour lessened.

Being firm and consistent would help. And also be sure to explain to her after the episode so that she can learn. Here is a useful article on how to tackle this issue when you are outside with her: http://sg.theasianparent.com/how-to-deal-with-a-tant

Having toddler throwing tantrum is quite common. Tantrums are, unfortunately, a fact of life when you’ve got a toddler in the house. Toddler tantrums have a number of causes: A child’s frustration with his own limited abilities to express his feelings and communicate with words The need to assert independence Feeling a lack of control Having either too few or too many limits Hunger, fatigue, overstimulation and boredom Try understanding your toddler so that you can handle him/her better.

Though it is not rare to see toddlers doing that, I'd want to know if you understand reason for the tantrums. Is it for something she needs that you didn't get her? One way I can suggest would be to divert her mind. You can start ignoring her, making her feel confused and worried why you don't give her heed. Meanwhile your hubby can try to get her attention. Hopefully she might change, and will be more accepting
