❌When your newborn cried, you wouldn’t even dream of not responding to her. You knew she needed you and although it was the middle of the night and you’d already been up 5 times, you’d race to the room to comfort her. ⁣Well, a toddler is just a big baby. ⁣ ⁣ ❌Consider how you would feel if, after a horrendous day at work, your partner said, “Stop complaining! Go to your room and don’t come out till you’ve calmed down.” You wouldn’t think, “I can really trust my partner to be there for me.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣Instead of ignoring tantrums, ⁣ ⁣ ✔️DO THIS:⁣ ✨⁣Name the feelings⁣ ⁣ (Wait until the tantrum is calming down)⁣ ⁣ “You’re sad the dog knocked your tower over.”⁣ ⁣ ✔️✨OK the feelings, not the behaviour.⁣ ⁣ “It’s OK to be angry but it’s not OK to throw the blocks.” I’m going to put the blocks over here so no one gets hurt.”⁣ ⁣ ✔️✨Help your child move on. ⁣ ⁣ “Let’s read a book. Which one should we read?”⁣ ⁣ Any tantrums already today? About what? ⁣ ⁣ Are you stuck in the calm-explode cycle? Want to learn how to tame tantrums without losing your temper?
