how to handle tantrums

Tweet

Now remember that you kids only get away with what you let them. How to deal and tolerate tantrums quit giving in. Parents you have to remember that you actually created the tantrum by always giving the baby what they wanted. And then when they want something that they can't have they don't know how to cope with that. What seems to work for me is saying NO firm and keeping to it. You can't put the child in time out because they are already upset so their beyond that point you can't spank the baby either because that will only make them madder than you madder as well. So what you do is say no and keep to it and offer an alternative that will keep their minds off what they wanted. If their is no alternative just say no and then tune them out. Leave the room and go do something else and they will soon stop crying or yelling and screaming or throwing things. Don't give in once because once you do the harder it will be to stop the behavior. Now if your baby is throwing things don't never ignore you have to respond immediately or they will think that it is funny. Oh when I say baby I'm referring the age of 1-5.
