Tantrums can ruin a great day for both parent and child. A tantrum can have several causes, but the most common is when your child doesn't get something that he wants. Giving in to your child's wants is one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make. This may end the tantrum for now, but this does not stop it for good.Every parent should keep in mind that letting a child get his way would only lead him to throw a tantrum every time he wants something. I'll be giving you tips on how to effectively handle your child's tantrums:CONTROL YOURSELFIt can be really hard to control yourself when your child throws a tantrum, but this is one of the first things that you need to do. Experts have found out that losing control can result in one of a few things. You might end up hitting your child, which shows him that violence is acceptable; scream at the child which shows him losing self- control is perfectly okay or you might just surrender and give in to his wants. What can a parent do when a child starts screaming and crying? I'd like to tell you about what I fondly call the "statue-face". This is what I do whenever my child throws a tantrum. I never acknowledge what he's doing. I don't show him that I'm angry, or that I hear him screaming. Sometimes, I even leave him and go to another room. TEACH YOUR CHILD TO CONTROL ANGERA lot of parents seem to think that there's no way we can teach our child to control anger, but this is very possible. Even kids going through the terrible twos (which are very hard to control) can be trained to control tantrums. Tantrums are perfectly normal for children, and we shouldn't punish them for it. Child punishment is only appropriate when someone gets physically or emotionally hurt due to what your child did. Here's what you can do after a temper tantrum:1) Tell your child that what he did exactly. Say something like "You were screaming and kicking at the walls." 2) Carefully explain that what he did is unacceptable, but make sure to make it clear that the behavior is bad and not the child ("Crying and screaming is inappropriate").3) Explain in the right way to express anger (Calmly tell me when you're angry and I will listen to you").This whole information guide you to handle toddler tantrums.
