Your toddler has just shown you the power of the T word... Tantrum. It is something every parent dreads, but it is inevitable at one point or another.A tantrum is like an emotional blown fuse. It is not something your child can prevent. Tantrums generally occur when your child is very frustrated. The load of frustration builds up inside him until he is so full of tension that only an explosion can release it. He may run around the room wildly screaming, he may throw himself on the floor kicking and screaming. He seems to be totally out of control, and he is. So whats a parent to do? You can help to prevent tantrums by organizing your toddlers life so that frustration stays within his tolerance limits most of the time. This is not easy. You will not always mange to strike the right balance between the amount of frustration that is useful to your toddlers learning and the amount which is too much. When a tantrum does occur: Prevent your child from hurting himself or hurting others during a tantrum Dont scream or yell at your child Dont argue with your child Dont let the child feel rewarded or punished because of a tantrum Dont let tantrums embarrass you into giving in to your childs demands in public No matter how much you hate your , he hates them more!
