5. I will... stop reacting to his tantrums

Dr Miriam Stoppard, author of You and Your Toddler (£5.99 Dorling Kindersley) says, 'Tantrums are the only way a toddler knows how to cope with frustration. The only tactic you can use is to discourage them - ignore them until the tantrum dies down. Without attention, a toddler has no reason to continue the tantrum. If your toddler is in a safe place, walking away can also stop a tantrum.'

Thanks for the tips, it is indeed very helpful. I am actually looking for materials about toddlers, so I can be a better mom / parent.
