The behaviour we call a ‘tantrum’ doesn’t happen in isolation – we need to consider the conditions and events that lead up to the tantrum
Tantrum simmering? When toddlers are building to the exploding point, surprise can be your friend – so be prepared to try something you’ve never done before!
Had I remembered that, at Henry’s height, the counter is exactly at eye level, I’d have put the dried mango in the cupboard. Henry wouldn’t have seen it, asked for it, been told he couldn’t have it, and started to lose his mind. It’s like falling dominoes: you have the power to place the first domino where it won’t knock down any others if it falls.
How your child learns to handle her difficult feelings is going to depend a great deal on how she sees you handling yours. If you start to take three deep breaths when you feel frustrated, and to say out loud that this is what you’re doing, your child may learn to do that too.More than anything else in the world, toddlers want their parents’ attention. So, it follows that whatever gets the most attention are the behaviours they’ll repeat.
Sometimes if you ignore the behaviours that signal an oncoming tantrum, your toddler will get the message and cease and desist.Too often, when toddlers are on the verge of tantrums, we intervene with logical, rational explanations intended to decrease frustration. This can make things worse. Your toddler’s initial frustration becomes compounded because he feels neither heard nor understood.
