Taming his temper

It's a challenge now to manage a 2 years old boy, angry outburst turns on when things not going  his way.Frequently see this happening when my boy is sick, hungry...or too tired. Me loose my cool sometimes and things only get worst.

I find it is more effective to use the soft approach,be patient and calm, listen to him, do whatever he commanded, soon his tantrums will be fanned off.
Reacting to kids' meltdowns with yelling and outbursts will only make the situation worse and teach him to do the same. But keeping ourselves cool and calmly working through a frustrating situation is showing and  teaching our kids appropriate ways to handle anger and frustration.

No one is perfect, we will sometimes feel frustrated with all unreasonable requests from an angry child, what do the best is walk away from the situation a while, give yourself a short break and then going back to attend to him....giving him a warm hug and kiss, you will find your child cooling down and start talking to you and telling you why is he upsetting.Many times, feeling listened to and understood is all our kids need to regain their composure.



Trust me...this is the best way to handle your kid...to tame his temper :)
