Tantrums
Dealing with a child who is having a temper tantrum or meltdown is challenging for even the most capable parents. Methods that are effective in dealing with the child’s natural expressions of anger or frustration don’t always work in this intense emotional situation. At these times, parents find it difficult to get through to their children and help them cope with their feelings. To help a kid having a temper tantrum or meltdown, the parent needs to understand what the child is experiencing and relate on a level where the child feels understood and calmed. The following articles will help you understand why children have tantrums and ways to relate to them in this state that will help them to feel better.
