How to control temper tantrums?

i am also a shottemper guy. i give u one suggestion keep a pet in your home and it will really helpful for your son.

When my 2 year old son throws tantrums, I give him a time-out by making him sit on one corner of the room while I sat in front of him. After a few minutes, I will open my arms and ask for a hug, if he responds I know he'll stop crying. If he doesn't I'll just wait for a few minutes again, eventually he becomes tired and hugs me back. I may not be sure that he understand but I make it a point to explain to him that what he did is not a good behavior. Kids throw tantrums to get attention and if they are ignored thay are more likely to scream louder.

Children do this, for attention or what they want. It's conditioning. They know if they scream and cry, that usually mommy will give in. The only way to stop it, and now, as it gets worse and worse, is to put him in his room calmly, and tell him that until he stops screaming and crying, he cannot come out. Then let him scream. I know it is hard to listen to this, but you must dear.

Whatever you do be sure to do consistently. When one of mine would melt down I would stay calm and when I could tell them "what, I can't hear you" they would become frustrated and often stop. Also communication was to be done calmly since I could not "understand" them when weepy. Now and then they must cry just a part of growing up. Of course you don't want this to happen in public so you must let him know that only the best behavior goes on when in public. Removal from a store a time or two should do it, along with a mini party when things go well. Hope some of this helps. My kids now teens though not especially whiny when young did have an issue or two and we handled it. They are good at that good when in public rule.

i have an eight year old who still has tantrums ,lol i think hes a bit spoilt.i remove him from the room i,m in and close the door. when he was younger i put him in my living room and he smashed my ornaments in bad temper. he has improved a lot and i tell him how to cvontrol his temper by counting to 10 and breathing deeply. it does work sometimes.as for you two year old , all you can do is ignore the tantrum. he will probably grow out of them . shoting does no good , it will just stress you out . leave him safely in a room and check him every few minutes until he calms down.
