When children feel angry, frustrated or helpless, the result is a often a tantrum.
Little kids kick, scream and flop on the ground.
Big kids yell and lose control. Tantrums are normal, natural and inevitable. Having a plan in advance is the best way to deal with tantrums. Like many aspects of parenting, the more prepared you are the better you can handle the situation, and the easier it is to keep your own anger under control. Pick a private, small, safe room -like a bathroom, bedroom or laundry room.
