In the middle of a meltdown when you can’t figure out anything( the reason why they are crying, what they want), your ears are about to burst and you are running out of patience. You can’t just be calm, every parent needs a few strategies to deal with this daily tantrums and whining.
So few things that helped me with all this are:-
Regulate your own emotions first, when you stay calm there is a better way to communicate.
Make your child feel safe if you want them to cooperate. Hug them and let them know you are there for them and then ask if you can help them with anything that’s making them upset.
Be clear about all the rules. If you dont allow TV while eating be firm, if you give up sometimes they will cry and make way for what they want so be firm. Explain them the rules it will take a few days but they will start to understand it.
Help them regulate their emotions, let them understand what they are feeling . once they can understand and regulate their emotions there will be less tantrums and more communication and a happy child in your hands.
Your little ones also have bad days and they feel emotional help them explore all the feelings and be their for them this all will only last for a few years so hang in there.
Also let me know few tips that helped you all with all the tantrums. Love . #crazymumma
