How To Have A Tantrum Free Toddler

By Ruth Graham


Some people might think that having a child who does not throw fits constantly and always has to have his or her way is simply part of life, and that there is no way to avoid it. However, this does not have to be true if the right steps in parenting are taken and the right skills are learned. Although it is not always easy, any parent can have a tantrum free toddler.

Something that many parents don't recognize is that their toddlers are going to behave the way that their parents behave. This means if their parents don't show them patience, the child won't have patience. That is why it is a good idea to consider one's own behavior very carefully.

It is important that children are shown respect and understanding, as well as patience, from the very earliest phases of their life. This means starting well before they ever learn how to talk and express themselves fully. It is this lack of understanding that causes toddlers to have a reputation for being particularly ill-behaved.

Many people have heard of the golden rule, but they seem to forget to apply it to the way they parent. No one likes being yelled at and embarrassed in public, and yet many parents do this to their children. It is always best to find a way to discipline a child that will not make them resentful or negatively impacted.

While a timeout can be a good way to discipline a child, causing him or her to sit quietly and think about what they did wrong, expecting a child to sit still and not say anything for too long is unrealistic. It is necessary in situations where you and the child are waiting for a long period of time to provide him or her with activities to do. Failing to do so will only result in a bad time for both the parent and child.

Something that many parents have a hard time getting over is the fact that they will never be able to control every single aspect of their child's life. This should be considered a good thing, as it means that your child is an individual with his or her own personality and feelings. That is why this individual person must be worked with instead of trying to dictate everything they do and say.

A helpful way to think of parenting is as a guide for your child, rather than an empirical ruler. This makes it easier to accept when toddlers make their own decisions. Doing this leads to a more positive relationship.

If not enough time is spent with the child, they are sure to act out every once in a while or even on a daily basis just so they can get the attention that they crave. This nightmare can be avoided simply by finding an activity or several different ones that can be enjoyed together. It is important to give the child enough attention so they feel that their feelings are heard.
