Tips to deal with temper tantrums in children

Temper tantrums are fits of anger characterized by screaming, bawling, and throwing things.
Tiredness, shifting to new places, or hindrance in their activities can trigger these tantrums.
Staying calm and talking to your child after they are calm can help manage the situation.
Do not let your child become tired or hungry. Instead, stick to a routine for meals and naps.
Give them enough positive attention and praise their good behaviour.
Give them the independence to make reasonable choices.
Prepare them for transitions, such as going to school or leaving the playground. If they are going to have another sibling, prepare them for the changes.
Set reasonable parental expectations and do not expect perfect behavior from your child.
Talk to your child beforehand when you notice they are frustrated or irritated.
Distract them with toys, games, or other things while frustrated or angry.
Listen to your child’s needs and help them share their feelings
If your child shows violent behaviour or starts to self-harm, you need to consult their doctor.
