How to Deal with
Temper Tantrums
1. It's important to remain calm and patient when your child is having a tantrum.
2. Try to identify what triggers your child's tantrums so you can anticipate and prevent them from happening.
3. Let your child know that you understand they are upset and that it's okay to feel that way.
4. Sometimes distracting your child with a new activity or toy can help to shift their focus away from the tantrum.
5. If your child's tantrum is not dangerous, you can choose to ignore the behaviour until they calm down.
6. Establish clear boundaries with your child and be consistent in enforcing them.
7. When your child behaves well and avoids tantrums, use positive reinforcement like praise and rewards.
8. Avoid reinforcing tantrum behaviour by not giving in to your child's demands.
9. Try to understand your child's perspective and show empathy towards their feelings.
10. If tantrums severely impact your child's life, seek help from a mental health professional for additional strategies and support.
