Your child might have a tantrum when they are overwhelmed with big feeling and emotions and can no longer control their emotions.
Tantrums are an emotional release. Your child needs to release their emotions in a safe place to be able to come back to their emotional equilibrium.
Every tantrum is an opportunity to help your child go from dysregulated emotions and behaviour to being regulated. This becomes the building blocks of child’s learning self-control.
- Tantrums are not the time to:
- Use logic and explanations.
- Expect your child to answer questions.
- Try to reason and negotiate.
- Use shame or punishment to make it stop.
- Ignore your child
- Tantrums are the time to :
- Make sure your child is physically safe.
- Hold space for and soothe their emotions.
- Focus on keeping yourself calm and grounded.
- Stay with your child and nearby.
Young children use tantrums as a means to control their emotions, express themselves, and attempt to comprehend or alter their environment.
This is due to the fact that at this age, children’s social and emotional skills have just begun to develop.
Children frequently lack the words to adequately communicate strong feelings.
Therefore, it is up to parents to handle tantrums without damaging their kids’ self-esteem.
