@durga Salvi: koshish kariye dekhne ki apki beti ko kab kab sabse zyada gussa ata hai, koi pattern hai, koi reason common hai jisey usey guusa ata hai. Ap art ka sahara le saktey hai.. usey kisi uske fav cartoon ki kahani banane ko boliye, aur usi kahani ke dauran usey kab guusa ata hai aur kyu.
Aur agar apne notice kiya ki uski baat nai mano aur tab usey guusa aye, toh uske sath ek toh boundary setting ka kaam karna hoga jaha maan liijiye two circles draw karke usey bataya gaya
1. Circle one: things in my control / allowed <br>
2. Circle two : out of my control
Ap uske sath yeh cheezo ki list bana satki hai ki kya cheeze usey allowed hai, uski suni jaegi aur kaha uski control ke bahar hai ya usey.puch kar karna hoga.
Ap ek papaer par un circles mai , usey lego toys use karke usey divide karsktey hau eg sare yellow legod allowed , red nai allowed jsike liye woh puch sakti hai or mama ki help leskti hai agar usey chahie..
Aur agar usey chahiye...
humein train karne ki zarrorat hai ki agar hume apni baat mummy ya papa ko samjhani hai jo usey chahie...<br>
Pehle woh shaant hojaye tabhi ap usey sunnakte hai...
Jab tak woh royegi.. ap usey react na karey.. jab shaan hojaye usey puche.. bole samjhaye kya usey pareshan kara hai..
Is tareeke se behavior management control karskte hai hum jo bar bar gusse ki tarah.niklta hai

<span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @619aaf438bcf860013572f59 </b></span> have your child engage in a lot of sensory art like splash painting, bead painting,have play dough play or clay to press, whenever he or she is disturbed or scared, have spaces of dance and movement to purge out all the energy and emotions, you could create a scarf dance revelry with your child !
Similarly you could also have your child and you have a drumming and tapping session on the <br>
- body parts<br>
- on the table <br>
- on musical instruments<br>
- use spoon or forks to tap on a plate..
Make it a game of imitation for your child, where you are the mirror and he or she is mirroring and vice versa.
Similarly it could become a game like Simon says, more instructional thereby working on the child's ability to follow instructions.also
By tapping , and through body percussions it allows the pent up energy, stress and difficult emotions in your child to oose out relieving the body to be more comfortable and relaxed. ( In sync with emotional freedoms technique)
Overall,
Encourage her communication with your child as much by imitating your child's body language by responding, commenting, questioning and so on. It will motivate your child to try more and would give her a sense of security.<br>
<br>
Avoid using baby-talk. It can confuse your little one. Use concrete, clear words<br>
<br>
Cut down screen time for your toddler, like TV viewing, mobile phones, and other gadgets. It can interfere with the brain development of young kids.<br>
