Try this if tantrums are severe!

a) In more severe instances where the child is lying on the floor crying, pounding fists on the wall, it makes sense to take a step back. Remove yourself from the scene and it does work for some children - it is worth a try.


Allow your child to give vent to his or her frustrations. Allow your child to cry it out until he or she regains some control. Just make sure that the surroundings are safe. If it is not, pick up your child and bring him or her to a safer place. A physical release is just what some children need.





b) If inappropriate words are used during an outburst, take immediate action to nip such an episode in the bud so that it doesn't happen again. Profanity at 2 or 3 is not helpful the child's development. It is also important to analyze where did our child pick up such language from - is it from us? Shouldn't we be doing something about it then (?).





c) Decide on the amount of time you are comfortable with for tantrums in family- controlled environment such as home, car etc. Suppose you decide that 4 minutes is good enough for the release of energy and anything more will only worsen the tantrum, then in such situations you could give your little one a hug and talk reassuringly to him to end the tantrum.





d) If your child is the hitting types, then confine the hitting to inanimate objects such as the couch or any other safe objects. Strongly refrain your child from hitting parents or other animate objects such as pets to avoid any physical or emotional hurt.
