Almost all parents face
tantrums in children . Many of them sometimes lose all patience and have no idea what to do in this situation. That's why they ask themselves questions about what to do if a child throws tantrums. Let's get it right.
Tantrums in children most often begin at the age of 1.5-2 years. The kid, who was a cute angel just yesterday, turns into a capricious stubborn, able to bring his parents to white heat. In fairness, it is worth saying that the child does not always demonstrate such behavior. Very often, tantrums in children are provoked by poor health, fatigue, and emotional overload. For example, if the baby does not feel well, he can throw a tantrum literally out of the blue, while in a normal state he could be easily distracted or switched to something else. Therefore, you should not lead a tired, hungry or sick baby to the store (by mail, etc.). It is also very important to dose emotions and impressions, even the most positive ones. If the entertainment program is overly saturated (for example, a puppet theater, and then a trip to the zoo or to the rides), the peanut may eventually begin to act up just from an excess of feelings, or rather, from emotional fatigue.
Very often, tantrums in children happen in crowded places: shops, public transport. And in this case, parents have a particularly hard time, because they are subjected to condemnation of others. The most important thing in this situation is to calm down, stop wrapping yourself up and
not pay attention to passers-by advising you to take the baby in your arms, give it on the priest, or buy a miserable child. It is best to take (take out) the child to the street and give him the opportunity to recover. However, scolding him in this state is simply pointless; first, the baby needs to calm down.
Tantrums in children are not only tears and screams. Many kids are very good at skating on the floor, falling and banging their feet, not forgetting to vote. Some peanuts go even further and beat their heads on the floor or wall, pull their hair, scratch their faces and even cause vomiting (the latter, fortunately, happens quite rarely). Sometimes babies have blue lips while crying. In principle, tantrums in children are a completely normal phenomenon, however, if they occur too often and for no reason, and are also accompanied by any disturbing symptoms, you should show the crumb to a competent neurologist.
If a child throws tantrums, what should parents do? As already mentioned, first of all, you should calm down and remember that almost all the little ones go through this. Secondly, you need to deprive the crumb of the opportunity to play in public (ideally, it is best to leave him alone, if it is, of course, possible). Because persuasions in this situation are practically powerless, the child simply will not hear them. And after the baby calms down, you should talk to him about the situation, analyze his behavior, voicing his feelings (“you were upset because we did not buy the machine”), and explain that such a manifestation of emotions is unacceptable (“even if you were upset screaming all over the street should not have been »). You can play scenes from time to time using your favorite toys of the little one, still talking about the situation and showing him what to do in one or another case (right and wrong).
Tantrums in children can be tried to prevent. As soon as the baby begins to be capricious, it needs to be redirected to perform any action (“look, what a bug”, “bring me that pack of juice”). Strong hugs and various tickles help some children. Also, you should not always go on the principle - sometimes you can give in to the child by buying this very unfortunate machine, but only if the tantrum has not yet begun. And if the baby is already in a rage, it’s too late to indulge, otherwise he will understand that a lot can be achieved with tears and screaming. In addition, it is very important that the policies of all family members are similar. Situations when mom does not respond to screams, and dad immediately rushes to do everything that requires his beloved child, can make tantrums the usual way of manipulation and drag them out for a very long time.
