Family Ideas: Tantrum prevention
|
Toddler temper tantrums can be quite upsetting to everyone in the family. So how best to deal with them and keep your family calmer and more relaxed?
First, see if you can prevent them before they start. Keep records and write down the time of day, if he or she might have been too hungry, thirsty, hot, cold, etc. You might find a pattern and be able to prevent some future tantrums.
Second make a mental note of how he or she behaves right before one starts – the next time you see that behavior you might be able to change the direction your headed in and avoid the tantrum.
Third, stay calm when you suspect one is about to erupt. Even if this doesn’t prevent the tantrum it will at least keep it from being as intense as it might have been.

Hi, Trisha,
I came across your blog from the MomBloggersClub which I recently joined. I enjoyed reading some of your posts. I am a mother of three and started my own online baby gifts and accessories company http://www.startingoutsmall.com in Nov. 2009. I am relatively new to blogging (only the last two years or so) and have fun writing it but find I am so busy during the day that I don’t have as much time to devote to it as I would like, but hopefully I will get back into it.
I look forward to the development of your site and thank you for sharing your IdeasforWomen.
Best!
Rebecca
