Dealing With Baby Temper Tantrums - Easy Strategies To Help You Cope
We all know the scene with baby temper tantrums. The baby wants something and we have decided that it is neither safe nor desirable. The other typical incident is when they have to relinquish an object which is capable of causing them harm so we attempt to take it from them. As we have seen possession is major driving force. In any case, the baby has decided that these objects are perfect for them and they will fly into a tantrum.
The best way to avoid these baby temper tantrums is to make sure that our home is as fully child proof as possible so that certain objects are not within their reach. That includes the remote control, for example which may come to a sorry end once it gets into a baby's hands.
I know lots of parents who use distraction as a method to put a quick end to the tantrum or meltdown. I know one parent who actually takes a photograph of the child! Other methods can work as well, such as holding the baby and distracting him by offering a safer object. It sometimes works. Share:
The major thing is not to give in or start yelling yourself as that achieves nothing. In fact, if you give in, that is a message to the baby that this method works and he will be encouraged to try it again!
Other parents just let the child roll around on the floor and let them let off steam for a while. I know that when a child picks up rubbish, it is always a good idea not to take it from her but accompany her to the waste bin and praise her for her environmentally friendly act. This is much better than telling them that is a dirty object and snatching it from them.
If a baby gets hold of an object which could cause them harm, this could be the recipe for more baby temper tantrums if we try to take it from them. It is a good idea is to start a game where the parent asks for it back in a funny way. Then she hands it back to the child and the exchange of the object goes on until the child becomes tired or bored and the parent gets to keep it. It is thus safely out of reach.
I found that the parenting guide on baby temper tantrums and other children behavior problems was absolutely ideal in helping me solve these issues. There was no need to go to expensive counselling sessions and I was able to have a much happier and relaxed home easily and cheaply. Why not try this out?
