Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Temper tantrums are disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts.They often occur in response to unmet needs or desires.Tantrums are more likely to occur in younger children who cannot express their needs or control their emotions when they are frustrated. It might seem as if your child plans to misbehave simply to get on your nerves, but that's probably giving him or her too much credit. Young children don't have evil plans to frustrate or embarrass their parents. For most toddlers, tantrums are simply a way to express frustration. Some children are more prone to tantrums, particularly kids who are intense, hyperactive, or moody or kids who don't adapt well to new environments. For most toddlers, tantrums are simply a way of getting out their frustration and testing limits (in your case, "Will Mommy let me stay home if I scream really loud?").For older children, tantrums might be a learned behavior. If you reward tantrums with something your child wants — or you allow your child to get out of things by throwing a tantrum — the tantrums are likely to continue.
The easiest way to stop a temper tantrum is to surrender to the child's desires. Obviously, that strategy won't do you any good in the long run because your child will constantly go into tantrum mode whenever he/she wants something. So I do NOT advise that you stop taking her to the nursery. Instead:
*Be consistent. maintain a daily routine so that your child knows what to expect. It's also important to set reasonable limits and follow them consistently.
*Encourage your child to use words to express herself (young children understand many more words than they're able to express).
*Let your child make choices. To give your toddler a sense of control, let her make appropriate choices, like choosing what dress to wear or what kind of fruit to eat
*Praise good behavior: Offer extra attention when your child behaves well (hugging or kissing)
*Use distraction to shift your child's focus
