It also delved in why children make tantrums which I thought is worth sharing in here. The most important thing is dealing with tantrums is to shift the focus from your child to yourself & ask yoursef the question " Why I am loosing my temper?" coz most of the times we scream & shout at our kids when they make tantrums. As mentioned earlier by Sriram tantrum is a way in which the kid expresses his'her dissatisfaction or frustration. Then instead of saying "no" give them a choice lets say instead of saying "no you can't have that graham crackers" tell them " would you like to have crackers or something else which they like & is appropriate to give them at that time like a fruit". Children like when they have they have the right to choose. When we start shifting the focus from our kids to ourselves then the incidence of tantrums will reduce. I recommend reading this book.pncoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12205315063278156254noreply@blogger.com
