Tantrums

I am so lucky that i haven't seen our child when she was still a kid, ever had a tantrum. That's because as she was growing, we would explain it to her in a nice way always that her parents are working hard so as to have money to sustain our needs. And we would tease her that would she like to see us get sick just because we are working beyond our capacity? That, i think made her act accordingly.

When a kid does something that gets him what he wants, he'll use that tactics again and again.. The thing is to stop him from doing this. You, as the parent, will have to learn to say 'no' and be firm about it. If, for instance, your son goes into a temper tantrum because you won't buy him a toy, ignore him. He will eventually get tired and when he's done, that's when you talk to him and tell him that doing so will not get him what he wants. He has to learn to ask properly and wait, if he has to. Teaching your kid that early in his life would make him a more patient man in the future. Imagine him throwing off temper tantrums as an older man, he won't be crying but expect rebelliousness, disobedience, or worse.. So better do tough love. Your kid will need it. :)

Parenting can be the most wonderful job but is also the most difficult one. Giving in to kids tantrums would send the wrong message to them. The only way is to let them loose but at the same time keep a watchful eye so they won't end up hurting themselves At the end of the day they will be exhausted when they don't get our attention. That's the only way to discipline young kids.

Hey thanks a ton for the discussion. Well u are absolutely correct. Most of the mothers complain of their children's constant nagging behavior and temper tantrums and i have also personally heard as well as seen this annoying behavior as my mother also used to say that i was also one of them in this category. He he. It is pretty normal to see these things from kids but it is not good in the long run. Either they have to be cajoled and made understood in a peaceful way or else they have to dealt with strict and stern actions. What say?

Tantrum is one the characteristic of child to show whwt he or she feels of something. It is more difficult if the child can construct sentences. That made them cried out loud. Some people say, we just need to ignore then the child will stop doing it.

I have a nephew who does this a lot especially on family occasions. I think it's best to have some sort of pep talk before going somewhere explaining to the child that if he or she does an act, there will be consequences. Establishing a certain sense of authoritarianism worked for me as a kid. I have no kids of my own but that was what my parents did to me and as a kid, I oeyed them because whatever the consequences were, I didn't want them. x_x Some would say just let them wear themselves out, they'd stop on their own but I don't know. I don't think this is suck a good idea. x_x

I aint got any kids but I have seen my brother's kids throw tantrums. It is very irritating when they do it in public. I don't really know how to handle it. Maybe what suggestions you get will be helpful to me too. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
