Tantrums also are a result of a child's frustration with the world, when they can't get something they want. Frustration is an unavoidable part of a child's life as they learn how people, objects, and her or his own body works. The best way to deal with temper tantrums is to avoid them at all times. It is important to verify that the child isn't acting up because she or he isn't getting enough attention. Give the child some control over things they can manage since it will fulfill their need for independence and can stave off tantrums.
Distraction is another positive option.
Take advantage of a child's short attention span by offering replacement objects or beginning a new activity to replace the frustrating or forbidden ones. Changing the environment also can be positive. The most important thought to keep in mind during a tantrum is to keep your cool. Take a deep breath and think clearly. Don't complicate the problem with your own frustrations.
