How do you manage the child's anger crisis?

Tantrums (anger crises) are extremely common in young children and preschool children. This is how they manage their feelings and which they do not otherwise know to express. I talked to a psychologist and made a list of the things you can do to prevent as far as possible these crises, but how to manage them when they occur. What is a tantrum? . The child can cry, yell, strike, fall, run away from you. In some cases they may lose their breath, they may vomit, break things or become very aggressive.

Why a tantrum occurs Tantrums are very common in children aged one to three years old. This is because children's social and emotional abilities are only beginning to develop at this age, and they are often unable to verbalize their emotions either because they are not talking or because they do not know . So tantrum is one of the ways children manifest and manage their emotions and try to understand or change the world around them. And older children have tantrum because they often did not learn more appropriate ways to express or manage their emotions, or because they have not yet learned self-control. Factors that are more likely to trigger an anger crisis For both younger and older children, there are a few things that increase the likelihood of a tantrum.

These are: Temperament - it influences the speed and intensity with which a child reacts to frustrating events. Children who are more easily offended are more likely to have an anger crisis Hunger stress, over-stimulation - these factors lead to problems in the way the child expresses and manages emotions and behavior Situations that a child can not manage - towards . A hungry and tired child is more likely to make a rage of anger. She tries to identify what the child feels. If you do that, you can see when an anger crisis follows and you can help it manage its emotions, or distract it.

Identifies the factors that can trigger a tantrum. For example, your child may have anger when shopping. Try to change the way things go: go shopping after the little one has slept and eaten, and the possibility that he is relaxed is bigger. Talk to him about emotions. When the child is experiencing a strong emotion, encourage him to describe what he feels and he calls the feeling he has, so next time he will know what he is doing and will manage the sentiment more easily.

What to do when the child has a tantrum Sometimes, crises of anger are inevitable, so we make a list of useful things: Stay calm (or at least simulate calm). If you get angry, you only make it difficult for both the child and you. If you want to communicate with him, do it calmly and as rarely as you can. Help him identify and validate the emotion that triggered the crisis. For example: I know it's unpleasant to get rid of ice cream on the floor.

This kind of attitude will give the child the opportunity to reset his emotions and prevent things from getting out of control. Wait for the tantrum to pass. Sit beside your baby so you know you're there anyway, be careful not to hurt or hurt someone else during the crisis and try not to distract them once the tantrum has begun. Be the master of the situation. If an anger crisis arises because the little one wants something and you have not given it, it does not just give it because it has a tantrum, it will only teach him that in this way he can get any.

Wait first to calm down and not force him to do things when he's in this state. Be calm and steady in attitude. If you sometimes give your child what he wants and sometimes not when he has a tantrum, you only make the crisis worse. Photo: 123rf. .
