How to deal with kid's tantrum in public

October 27, 2018 7:08am CST
My baby has grown a bit now and I'm getting really exhausted from all her tantrums especially in the public. Sometimes I just want to totally ignore her but it doesn't work. How do you deal with your kids especially when they throw tantrums in the public

How old is your daughter? First you have to know the reason for her tantrums so you can address it. Some kids throw tantrums when they are sleepy, wet or hungry. When you are able to identify that, then you can do something about it. Then try to play with her or do some activities that can distract her attention towards the tantrums. And also they have to learn, so sometimes, we need to give tough love (no physical involve) but maybe let her cry.

That's pretty annoying for me but so far I did not experience this with my nephew although he is such a pain because he is very hyper.

@augusta123 I agree. I sometimes heard my cousin complaining her daughter.

I once worked as a parenting co-ordinator running parenting programmes and we used to teach parents largely to completely ignore the tantrum, but sometimes you need to look at what leads up to them and remove the source. Often though ignoring does not work because you are not, in fact ignoring the tantrum and reacting to it more than you think. It is, after all, as I know from experience, very hard to ignore things in a crowded place. One child I worked with actually needed to be held to calm her down. My take is do what works to get you sorted then look at the reasons why it happened in the first place. Work out a strategy for the next event rather than get exhausted sorting the current one if nothing is working for either of you. Sometimes you do have to wait it out, but the underlying reason is always there. (Remember for a child, it may not actually make grown up sense. Kids do not think like adults. Make sure lots of praise happens when the tantrums are not.

I think kids throw tantrums for different reasons. The key thing here if to find out your child reasons for throwing tantrums or better understanding.

in my opinion we must be very patient to handle children, indeed everything will certainly feel very annoying when they start crying, but that's our baby must always be patient to handle it

My son is 4 and the tantrums have decreased, but when he would do them in public, I'd tell him No and stop and if he didn't stop, I'd take him outside so as not disturb people. He can be such a headache sometimes though, especially when he doesn't get his way. All kids are different and it's a learning process.

I think kids throw tantrums for different reasons. The key thing here if you to study your child for better understanding.

You can do this by giving them a toy and I think that will reduce your burden a little to make your favorite child a little more entertained with the toy
