Screaming tantrums are a sign that something is wrong. It's your job as a parent to help the child deal with that situation. Not always figuring out the actual percieved problem (as they're humans, it's almost certainly never anything to do with logic and as toddlers it's probably impossible to even express). Probably not fixable in the moment.

There's not much to be done other than wait for the jello computer to stabilize itself. This is surprisingly applicable to humans of all ages.
