Patience & therapy: And you're not even into the terrible 2's! it is simple, but hard. Toddler management takes consistency and gentle firmness - and patience. Keep the intensity from the adult side down. Hers is out of your control now. Say in a simple same way "i want you to calm down". Take her to a safe, small, area that she cannot leave and let her know she can come out when she's calm. Repeat as needed. (lots!).
