Toddlers are known to be the epitome of temper tantrums - you will see a lot of these in play grounds and toy stores. Though these tantrums may seem like a way for them to be terrible and rebellious, it doesn’t seem that way for the toddlers. For toddlers, temper tantrums are a way for them to express their anger and frustration due to the fact that they still cannot put their feelings into words. So it is better that we understand the reason behind the child’s behavior to be successful at avoiding temper tantrums.
In dealing with temper tantrums, it is best that you give the toddler choices. Aside from developing the ability to make choices, you are allowing your toddler to deal with the situation without resulting to a tantrum but instead to a way that is acceptable to you as a mother. Keep in mind the choices that you are giving your toddler, make certain that those choices are possible solutions to avoiding temper tantrums from occurring once again.
Give your child a scenario of what to expect in a day with you. You can outline a schedule that you should always follow because toddlers enjoy knowing what is to come. So if you don’t plan to go to the park or the mall, don’t mention it or include it in the schedule for this is not a way to avoid a temper outburst with a toddler. Giving toddlers a schedule that will make them feel safe.
Approach your toddler who is having a temper tantrum with calmness. You are not a kid and therefore it is your role to help your toddler calm down and feel that there is nothing good he/she will get from going into temper tantrums. Always keep in mind that you also have to take time to listen to what your toddler might be saying, it may not be clear but try to get the gist of the reason behind the tantrum and deal with it.
Avoiding Temper Tantrums can be done by simply minimizing the things that will trigger the tantrums. If your toddler has a certain fear or does not feel comfortable in a certain situation, do not force them into it. It is best to take things at his/her own pace to make sure that they will be able to handle it. Keep in mind that your role as a parent is to give security and assist your kid in reaching his/her milestones at the right time.
