Temper tantrums

Aggressive children can cause major parental stress! Parents are often at a loss to know what to do
when their child hits, spits, bites, screams, or has a major meltdown in a public place. Children use temper tantrums to achieve a purpose. There are basically 4 types of tantrums:

  • Your child is tired or frustrated
  • They want attention
  • They are reacting to your “No”
  • They don’t want to obey you

When you deal with the purpose behind the tantrum, the outbursts will significantly decrease. Don’t be intimidated by these aggressive outbursts, but resolve to deal with them quickly and directly. Here are some ideas to help you do this.
