TODDLERS

Tantrums

'Dealing with tantrums really begins
with understanding what they are
and why they occur,' says Jo. 
'In early toddlerhood, we see
children as young as 18 months show
great displays of physical emotion.
'For some, that may be just a
high-pitched scream, but for others,
it could be a complete meltdown with
legs and arms flailing.
'Never received well by parents,
your first thought may be to want
to control such behaviour - which
is when it becomes taught, by either
the tantrum being pacified or by
giving in to what the child wants,
thus demonstrating the effect of such
outlandish behaviour.'
Jo continues: 'As explained in my
book Toddler Rules, there are three
types of tantrums and when we
can understand which one is being
shown, we can respond to either
address the "mock" behaviour, set
up expectations for a "situational"
tantrum or get to the root of an
"emotional" tantrum.'

BE PATIENT
Tantrums won't go away
quickly - young children
have to learn the hard way
by doing something over

Pretending not to
hear / running away
'This old trick is a quick way for children
to get out of doing something they don't
want to do or just show defiance. If not
addressed, it gets worse and you will find
yourself constantly repeating yourself.
'The key to improving this behaviour,'
says Jo, 'is to be face to face when telling
your child what you need them to do.
Be calm and reward with immediate
gratification when the task is done.
'This response will encourage your
child to continue with the positive
behaviour and, in turn, they will start to
focus on that rather than the opposite.
'When out in public, gently give notice
in a conservational way, for example, that
you're leaving the park in 10 minutes.
This will help those children who need to
know the routine every minute.
'Remember bad behaviour traits can
be broken and reformed quickly so don't
despair,' says Jo. 'You will see results.'

Poor manners
'We do best when we can lead by
example as role-model parents to our

'However, through our mistakes we
can teach our children the importance
of honesty, good morals and saying sorry
for our actions,' says Jo.
