Dealing with the tantrums of a toddler is not easy. Here is what dads can do to handle the temper-tantrums of a toddler.Usually, dads do not get chance to see the tantrums of the children as compared to the mothers, as it is seen mostly that mothers are always there with children. But dads can experience their toddler’s tantrums when they are out. For example; if dads are in super markets with their
toddler and do not complete her need of buying some sort of candy or chocolates, then child starts banging their head or even start screaming or crying too loud which can make you conscious and create a scene at a public place. So to avoid these situation or minimize them here are some
tips for dads to deal with a toddler’s tantrums.
Try to Control Yourself
There are two mistakes which we often see father’s doing they complete the demand of their toddlers or they end-up screaming at them. First basic thing for dads is to control their anger take some deep breath and try to keep your cool. Do not react unless and until you get a proper solution to handle the situation till that time you just ignore them.
Do Not Scream Back
Screaming back will only make the situation worse as you both will end up screaming on top of your voices and might result in bad relation between dads and their child. Hold their hand with a strong grip and just convey a short message to them to stop their
misbehaviour. If this does not work then leave everything or complete your work at super market as quickly as you can and then just drag your child out but with polite gesture.
Give Them Time to Cool Down
This is not the correct time to teach them manners and etiquettes, give them sufficient time to cool down. After they cool down give them some water to drink, then love them and spend a little amount of good time with them so that they feel fresh and get completely out from the
tantrums. Once they are completely out of it then remind them about their behaviour and also tell them how bad impact they have created of their self in front of others. Do not scold them or not to talk rudely with them let them realize this in their own way.
Let Them Know
Never ever fulfil their demands to stop the tantrums otherwise it would be cultivated as their habit to satisfy all their needs they will always repeat this again and again. Let them know that these types of misbehaviour will not be tolerated and do them no good. If their demands are never satisfied with this method trying one or two time they will stop this by their own. May be there is no need for you to make them understand this, they will realize this by their own once they know that their demands are not satisfied in this way or this is a wrong way to demand.
Avoid Situation
Once you know when and where your child can start up with their tantrums avoid those situation. You can avoid these types situation by keeping your child very busy with you. For example; you have a long list to buy in super market tell them to help to finish it earlier divide the list and give small part of it to them and tell them to complete it as soon as possible so that you both can enjoy lot of time somewhere else after completing this work of super market.
Prize them or motivate them if they are trying to overcome the tantrums. Do not scold them regularly they too need some time understand them. Just give them time they will surely grow into communicative and reasonable human being.
