7 Superb Tips to avoid Tantrums

Yesterday, i went to Supermarket with my son and the moment we entered the super mart , he started with his wish list. He wanted toys , chips and the minute, I refused to fall into his demands, and he totally LOST it !! He just screamed and threw himself to the floor. Nothing could calm him or soothe him . The Tantrums is more or less same at home as well.

This is the one of the prevalent Parenting issue. After reading and discussing it a lot with different parents & parenting experts, I have been able to control my child tantrums to a greater extent.

I would share 7 Superb Tips to prevent Tantrums :

Play way : Children loves to play and would understand the things more quickly if taught in play way. You can act like a little puppy and tell your child that if you would not drink milk then this little puppy would drink all your milk. In this way he would try to finish off his milk

Be positive :Always use positive words and portray positive behaviour.Instead of straightaway NO or don't do that. Use alternative sentence like if you trouble your little sister then she would cry and jumping on couch can hurt you.

Behaviour : Many times the main cause of Tantrums are hunger , tiredness, boredom. If you are able to predict from the behaviour of the child then its easy to attack the tantrums even before its start. Child would definitely throw more tantrums if he is hungry and you are shopping close to lunch time or dinner time

Act like child : Its good to be like a 3 year old with 3 year old. Do things differently paint your face or make moustache with dough, make funny faces and take out funny noises. This light environment would make it easy for the child to co operate more

Ready steady go : OK lets see who would reach the washroom first or who would brush his teeth first. These small games would excite the child and he would be enthusiastic enough to complete the task without any hassle

Warning : Transition is one of the biggest parenting issue. Its quite difficult for the child to leave his games or activity at-once . Try and make the process soft. Keep warning him like 5 minutes left for you to eat your food, 2 minutes and finally 1 minute. This would actually prepare him in advance and he would be ready for the meal

Story time : Story is one of favourite activity for the child. Express yourself or deliver the message through interactive stories. Like, once upon there was this boy, who became really big and strong by eating vegetables and drinking milk. Do you want to become strong like him?

As I always say, there is nothing right or wrong in parenting. However, just changing things a bit can help us to overcome the parenting issue. I am eager to know about your tantrum handling techniques.. All the best !!

My list is non ending and promise to come back again with another parenting issue.
