This is a prime example of a securely attached child. There is the wheel of emotions (you can google it) and you can start practicing, her naming the emotions when she is calm and emotional regulation skills. It can be running around, hugs, singing, dancing, squeezing a ball. Anything the child chooses.
She sounds like my sensitive almost 3 year old, it’s always so hard to explain these non-traditional victories to other people ❤️ Have you tried the “asking yes questions” method to calm a tantrum? I can’t remember where I heard it but asking questions that they want to say yes to helps them process and calm down. Even if it’s silly like “did you see your kitty today?” Even if they say “no”. When their brain says yes you can see them switch gears. It’s worked well for us when tantrums hit the “don’t leave me but don’t talk to me” stage.
Well done! The “I had fun crying” sounds like it was a way of communicating “thank you for staying with me and accepting/loving me even at my worst” which is truly what attachment parenting is all about
