NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. Stay calm
Try not to yell, give long explanations, or reason with your child. You can also take a time-out if needed.
Make sure everyone is safe
If necessary, move your child to a different place.
Acknowledge their emotions
Speak slowly and in a low voice, and let your child know you understand their feelings.
Ignore attention-seeking behavior
If your child is throwing a tantrum to get your attention, try not to give it to them. Instead, give them attention when they do something good.
Distract them
Young children have short attention spans, so try to engage them in a different activity.
Provide alternatives
If your child is asking for something, offer them a different option.
Be consistent
Don't give in to demands, as this teaches your child that tantrums don't work.
Help them self-soothe
Share a list of things you can do to calm down, like breathing slowly or counting to ten.
