Tame the Tantrums
May 21st, 2008 by phyllis
Once your child becomes a toddler so many things come into place. They want to become independent, but may not be able to use words yet to convey what they want. They will make their frustration known to you when they want something or when they become upset for not getting what they want. There are a few things to try so that tantrums don’t get out of control. Distracting your child with something else to take them away from the current upset. Picking them up and holding them to try and soothe them from the upset. Some things to look for when the upset occurs, are if they tired or hungry. You might try some sign language with your child if they are not able to speak yet which can help greatly with communication. Soon will be able to curb those upsets or at least shorten them.
