<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">How to Prevent tantrums:</span></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's normal for a toddler to have temper tantrums. But you might be able to reduce the frequency, duration or intensity of your child's tantrums by following these parenting tips:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Know your child's limits</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Your child might misbehave because he or she doesn't understand or can't do what you're asking.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Explain how to follow the rules</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Instead of saying, "Stop hitting," offer suggestions for how to make play go more smoothly, such as "Why don't you two take turns?"</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take 'no' in stride.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Don't overreact when your toddler says no. Instead, calmly repeat your request.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pick your battles</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Only say no when it's absolutely necessary.</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Offer choices, when possible</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Encourage your child's independence by letting him or her pick out a pair of pajamas or a bedtime story.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Avoid situations that might trigger frustration or tantrums</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">For example, don't give your child toys that are too advanced for him or her. Avoid long outings in which your child has to sit still or can't play - or bring along an activity. Also know that children are more likely to act out when they're tired, hungry, sick or in an unfamiliar setting.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Make it fun</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Distract your child or make a game out of good behavior. Your child will be more likely to do what you want if you make an activity fun.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stick to the schedule.</span> </div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Keep a daily routine so that your child will know what to expect.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Encourage good communication.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "> Remind your child to use words to express his or her feelings. If your child isn't speaking yet, consider teaching him or her baby sign language to avoid frustration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If your child has a tantrum, remain calm and distract him or her. Ignore minor displays of anger, such as crying - but if your child hits, kicks or screams for a prolonged period, remove him or her from the situation. Hold your child or give him or her time alone to cool down.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Enforce consequences</span></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Despite your best efforts, at some point your toddler will break the rules. Consider using these parenting tips to encourage your child to cooperate:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Natural consequences.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Let your child see the consequences of his or her actions - as long as they're not dangerous. If your child throws and breaks a toy, he or she won't have the toy to play with anymore.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Logical consequences</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Create a consequence for your child's actions. Tell your child if he or she doesn't pick up his or her toys, you will take the toys away for a day. Help your child with the task, if necessary. If your child doesn't cooperate, follow through with the consequence.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Withholding privileges</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">If your child doesn't behave, respond by taking away something that your child values - such as a favorite toy - or something that's related to his or her misbehavior. Don't take away something your child needs, such as a meal.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Timeout.</span> </div><div style="text-align: justify; ">When your child acts out, give a warning. If the poor behavior continues, guide your child to a designated timeout spot - ideally a quiet place with no distractions. Enforce the timeout for one minute for every year of your child's age. If your child resists, hold him or her gently but firmly by the shoulders or in your lap. Make sure your child knows why he or she is in the timeout. Afterward, guide your child to a positive activity.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If all else fails, tell your child that you are taking a timeout away from him or her for a few minutes - even if it means staying in the same room and simply not responding to your child - because of a specific behavior. Be sure to explain the behavior you'd like to see.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whatever consequences you choose, be consistent. Make sure that every adult who cares for your child observes the same rules and discipline guidelines. This reduces your child's confusion and need to test you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, be careful to criticize your child's behavior — not your child. Instead of saying, "You're a bad boy," try, "Don't run into the street." Never resort to punishments that emotionally or physically harm your child. Spanking, slapping and screaming at a child do more harm than good.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Set a good example</span></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Children learn how to act by watching their parents. The best way to show your child how to behave is to set a positive example for him or her to follow.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">Good Luck !!</span><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Deepika Manglani</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">CEO Dolphins Group </span></div>
