You may be thinking, there is no way I can get my toddler to behave? Toddler tantrums are nothing new.
Every parent, guardian, nanny or pre-school teacher has experienced it.
One minute they may be okay, and the next they're rolling around along the floor, screaming and shouting and causing loads of embarrassment for you.
The very first important point to remember is there is nothing strange about your son or daughter.
Children their age need ways to express their emotions and throwing a tantrum is one of them.
Think about it, being an adult when you are getting frustrated, what do you do? Toddlers will scream, bite, hit and do just about anything to have their point across.
Toddlers also crave for adult attention.
They really want you to hear their every demand.
Since birth they have been developed for getting the things they want for example, when a newborn cries, mom or dad will come to the cot, hold their baby and either feed or change their diapers.
But as they grow older, kids have to know that negative behavior is not the best way, to get what you want.
So next time you happen to be in the toy store or outdoors along with your child be sure you use a number of tips below.
A.
Whenever your child throws an outburst, they are looking to get adult attention, most probably yours.
Simply tell them to halt the bad behavior.
If it continues, take them out from the mall, or where ever you are and give them some time out.
Be strict whenever they misbehave, there is no need to shout or scream at them.
B.
Never give in to the little one's tantrums.
Do this now and things will just worsen.
Stay on your ground and be sure they understand who is in charge.
C.
Do not give excessive focus on their negative behavior.
If you undertake this, they are going to continue to misbehave.
Praise them more for any positive things they do.
D.
Give incentives for being good, however, not at all times.
Take them out to the park, get a new toy, permit them to see their preferred cartoons etc.
E.
In case your toddler hits others including yourself, most probably they're trying out their boundaries.
What lengths can they go by taking this kind of action? Let them know firmly to not behave in this way, and give more attention to the victim of the hitting.
Your kid will soon recognize that hitting is not the way to communicate their feelings to you or anyone.
F.
Ensure you and the partner both control your child's negative behavior in the same manner, otherwise your child will benefit from tantrums.
G.
Discipline the child, however, not by hitting them.
Hitting children is simply not for me the best way to discipline.
Instead be strict when you need to be, take away their toys, put them on a time out period, and just tell them their behavior certainly won't allow them to get their way.
Toddlers and kids generally will test their boundaries, once they do know where they stand, their negative behaviors will in all probability cease.
Toddler tantrums happen most of the time.
Don't feel self-conscious if it happens along with your toddler before others.
Folks who were parents in their lives will know what your situation is.
