Tantrums

I do not have kids but i have a 4 yr old nephew and a 9 yr old niece and when they throw tantrums i or my sister or whoever is watching them either sits and ignores them and lets them yell. They let them do this because they say the kid is looking for attention and if you give it to them they we keep throwing this tantrum thinking they can get more attention. Also my sister has sent the kids to their rooms and made them stay there til they are done. Both usually work. They don't work all the time but it is the things that have worked best.

You have to be more patient with your child. There are times the child have tantrums because you allowed the child to have that attitude. Maybe you pampered her a lot and have given her all what she wants whenever she cry or maybe she is just a born out of adversity or something to that effect. So just be patient with the child. She is 7 years old and can still be changed. Let her know that tantrums is not good. Don't yell at her or spank her when she has tantrums but better yet talk to her in a nice way and explain to her that it is not good for a child to always be crying. Don't ever ever give her something she wants, just because she cried. Better yet, teach her the lesson that when she cries, she won't get what she wants all the more.
