The correct answer is

Calm guidance and discussion

Young children are still learning to regulate strong feelings, so adults need to respond in ways that help them understand and express emotions safely.

Strict punishment, removal from the room, and being ignored all fail to address the underlying feeling and can make a child feel more anxious, isolated, or unheard.

Responding with calm guidance and open discussion helps a child name and manage the emotion, which is why this approach best supports handling such outbursts.
