How to deal with toddler temper tantrums

Children nowadays are the big treasures of the family. When the children are young, adults will try their best to meet all their requests. Even so, some young children have very bad tempers and will cry and make a fuss at any time. Many parents feel helpless in such situations. In fact, there are certain coping measures for young children's bad temper. As long as you master the coping methods, there is no problem that is difficult to solve. So how to deal with young children's bad temper?

Reason 1 for bad mood: being unreasonable

This is usually a mistake that younger babies tend to make. There may be many reasons, such as: the baby doesn’t like brushing his teeth, so every time he brushes his teeth, he will deliberately make trouble or make noise; the baby won’t let his parents leave, mom and dad are in a hurry to go to work, but he won’t let them; when he goes to the store, he must buy the same toys as the ones at home, and will make a big fuss if he doesn’t buy them, etc.

How to deal with it: divert attention

When dealing with younger babies, the approach of reasoning as described in the books will definitely not work. Babies care more about their own feelings. If you force them to submit with a tough attitude, both adults and babies will be very angry. A better way is to find ways to divert the baby's attention. It gives the baby a fresh feeling without violating the parents' principles.

Reason 2 for bad mood: failure

A baby's heart is very simple and pure, but also very fragile and cannot withstand any blow. For example, a baby may be trying very hard to complete a jigsaw puzzle, but may not succeed after a long time; or he may be trying very hard to build a house with building blocks, but when it is quite high, the house suddenly collapses. If a baby feels that he is not as capable as he imagined, he will become depressed.

How to deal with it: Sympathize and encourage

Tell your baby that other children may have encountered similar situations and were unable to complete the task. Let your baby feel that "this has happened to many people", so as to relieve his stress and self-blame. Parents' expressions of sympathy can bring them closer to their babies, and the effect of consolation will be better after the distance is shortened. Don't be stingy with your affection. Giving your baby a kiss or hugging him are good ways to help him get rid of bad mood. After the baby's emotions have stabilized a little, help him find the cause of his failure and complete the original task together.
