Whether it be the mall, the grocery store, a soccer game, or a simple outing to the park, much of our time is spent amongst the people in our communities. These frequent occasions are the perfect time to teach your little ones the advantages of not screaming and shouting in order to get what they want. If a parent starts teaching their child why NOT to have a tantrum at an early age, it's much easier to prevent them later. You must use positive reinforcement. These occasions need to be pointed out to little ones.
Children enjoy feeling pleasant and well-behaved.
It makes them proud to hear others comment on what nice children they are. This method not only will help in preventing tantrums, but it will help build your child's self-confidence for future years. Nothing is a better learning tool than observation. Let him or her stop and get a good look and the tantrum-thrower, noting the redness of their face, the embarrassment of their parents, and the annoyed expressions of the other people that are witnessing the event. Your child will definitely not want to be connected in any way to that bratty, embarrassing image.
