"Great, great book for anyone who is about to become a parent (like myself) or someone who already has kids. I haven't finished the book yet but I love that this is not a how-to book, it's a book that walk you through the 
conscious process and how many unconscious responses that we already have programmed in us. Definitely a very holistic/stoic approach to parenting but if you already have that mindset about life. this book will spark your imagination :)"

"Oh how I wish I would have had this book when my children were young. I can't read it fast enough now to learn how to better my relationship with my adult children. I have a very blessed relationship with my children but this book is showing me how to make it even better. Please take a chance on yourself and your children to read this out of the box "Wake Up" wisdom on how to make the most qualitative relationships with your children AND spouses, relatives, friends and co-workers. Thank you, Dr. Tsabary!"

Need To Manage Toddler Tantrums?

Tantrums or meltdowns are the tools of toddlers and kids to get what they want especially when they can't have them. They may also resort to tantrums when they want to avoid something or seek attention or simply because they are hungry, tired, unwell or plain frustrated. So what can parents do to manage such behaviours? 
  • No matter what they do or don't do parents have to be consistent as well as predictable in terms of rules and routines.
  • Offer choices or alternatives based on what is available and acceptable to you. For instance, "Would like scrambled eggs or an omelette?" 
  • Establish regular mealtimes and sleep and nap routines. Help your toddler or kids to follow such routines. For example, get them to change into their night wear by a certain time followed by them going into their rooms for a bedtime read or story and lights out.
  • Talk to your child and encourage them to share their feelings in words. Get to know what they like or don't like and why. Find out what makes them happy or unhappy or what upsets them. 
  • Do not forget positive reinforcement in terms of acknowledging what they do right or well. 
When things do not turn out they way they should, tell yourself to remain calm. Do not give in to your toddler or kids demands. If you do, you are signalling to them that can get their way by throwing a tantrum. Call for time-outs where you can move away from a problematic situation or circumstance. It can help you to rationalize and view the situation in a clearer perspective.

Above all, remember that tantrums do not last forever. It has been noted that on average, tantrums last for just about 4 minutes. Once it is over, your child will be its normal lovely self. Hold that picture when the tantrum is being played out. Give your  child a hug when its over. Its a signal that you are there for your the child no matter what happens and that both of you need to move on.

How To Manage Toddlers And Kids Tantrums

Tantrums in general can be quite unnerving especially when thrown in public. Many a parent have actually come to fear tantrums by their toddlers and kids. Suffice it to say that managing tantrums of their young ones can be one of the greatest challenges of any parent. However, thankfully there is no dearth of material on how to manage the tantrums of toddlers and kids. What are some of the points that have been covered in the related material? 

Firstly, in order to manage tantrums, parents need to:

Know why their toddlers and kids resort to throwing tantrums. Essentially, they do so because it is their way of coping with difficult situations and associated feelings. Additionally parents must be able to recognize some of the ways by which toddlers and kids show tantrums. These include running off, holding their breath, sobbing, vomiting, screaming and throwing or breaking things. 

Be aware of the some of the underlying reasons for the tantrums. To do so, parents need to ask themselves the following questions: 
  • Does your child get upset easily?  
  • Are they stressed, hungry and often tired?  Do they have adequate rest or sleep?
  • What are situations that they cannot cope with? Being in the company of others especially older kids. 
  • Do they have strong emotions such as anger, worry, fear and shame?
What can parents do to help their young ones cope with the above? 
  • Learn what causes them to be upset such as having to share their toys. 
  • See to it that they do not go hungry or get overly tired.  Many toddlers and kids become cranky if they are deprived of their regular naps. This causes their triggers to be more sensitive and easily set off.   
  • Be conscious of their likes and dislikes and feelings in general. Try and talk to them and find out why they feel about a thing the way they do. Be in sync with their moods and feelings. Pose some questions to them to help them cope with feelings such as frustration and how they can do so in a positive manner. For example, many kids get upset when they cannot build a certain model with their building blocks. Show them how they can by following the step by step instructions instead of skipping certain steps.   
  • Take note of situations and circumstances that trigger off their tantrums with particular attention to when and where such triggers go off.
However, try as they may, there are times when parents cannot avoid their toddlers or kids' tantrums. When that happens, the best they can do is to:
  • Talk to themselves to stay calm. Manage their feelings first before trying to manage their kids' tantrums. Try and deliberately slow things down especially in what they say and do. 
  • Ride out the tantrum and think about what to do next in terms of alternatives. Just be there and offer emotional support. Do not intervene aggressively in the midst of a tantrum.
  • Do not give in to their child's demands especially when they are being unreasonable or impractical.  In such situations, take charge but be consistent. For example, their kids want to continue playing with their toys way past their bedtime and throw a tantrum when told to stop. Tell them that you are going to stow away the toys and then just do it.
The key to helping parents cope with their toddlers and kids tantrums is to learn and understand the what, why and how of their toddlers and kids tantrums. In this regard, the guides shown below will be helpful. For more details including product information and customer reviews, click on the images below:
