How can i stop my 2 year old from throwing temper tantrums?

Answer 1

ill tell a story to anwnser this. when my cousin was a todler he threw tantrums. one time in the super market he threw one. my mother was babysitting him. he threw down on to the ground and screamed. my mother looked at him and walked away. he freaked and stopped and came running after her. after that he didnt do it again. do that when he/she does it. leave the room and close the door. completely ignore them. punishing them will only make it worse.

Answer 2

Time outs worked well for our now 3.5 year old. Get a chair, put it facing the corner and when the child misbehaves, in the chair for 2 mins (1 min per year). For us, time would start over until the child learned to sit quietly in timeout.
Also, they love knowing they have the power over you that they get when throwing a tantrum. Totally ignoring that a tantrum is going on may work as well. If they arent getting the reaction they want from you they will give up and move on. Do not give in to what they may want.

Answer 3

Ignore him when he throws tantrums. If it bothers you, take him to his room, or another safe place and let him go at it. When he's done, no need to say anything, just let him rejoin the family. If you constantly give in to him to avoid tantrums or to make him stop he will continue to throw tantrums. If you ignore them, he'll stop...or they will lessen. You have to understand that a two year old does not have many ways to get across their needs and desires, so tantrums are probably going to happen; they don't have the self-control and emotional maturity needed to completely stop them right now. A good way to help prevent tantrums that stem from an inability to tell you what he wants with words is to teach him some sign language. I started with my daughter when she was about 9 months old, and she was able to sign her needs to me even when she couldn't talk. It really helped.

Answer 4

Invest in a child gate and a pair of headphones. Your 2 year old is going through what is known as "the terrible twos". When the tantrum starts but the child in his/her room with the child gate up. Grab the headphones, play whatever music you find enjoyable and go on about whatever it was you were doing prior to the tantrum. Of course be sure to check in on the child every few minutes. Once the child is aware that his/her tantrum is NOT going to gain your attention things should start quieting down.

Answer 5

You can't. It's a normal part of child development. Just change the way you react to them. Act like you can't hear your child screaming (when you're at home, not out in public), and ignore the tantrum. Calmly tell your child that you will talk to him when he is done screaming. Then walk away. Even if his screaming is getting on your last nerve pretend that it doesn't bother you a bit. The tantrums will become less rewarding for your child because he is not getting any attention for them. Eventually your child will learn to communicate better and will no longer throw tantrums to tell you he is unhappy.

Answer 6

When my son was 2, I would have sworn he was satan-spawned! Needing to reclaim the status of being the one in charge I realized that all he wanted was attention regardless of whether it was positive or negative. When he was content is when I went about tending to things other than him. Through his tantrums he was able to keep my attention for longer periods of time because he recognized the patterns of my responses to his behaviors. I began to completely ignore him during his tantrums, praising him and responding to him only after he had completed his fits. Within a very brief period of time his tantrums began to occur with less and less frequency and he actually became a happier child than he had ever been. But the key to success when using tjis or any technique is consistancy, not only in terms of the way you respond to behaviors but also in consistancy and uniformity among the child other parent and/or care-takers. What's easiest is rarely what's best for our children, I know, I've learned from every mistake a new Mother can make. He's 10 now and absolutely my life's greatest blessing...and I'm still learning.

Answer 7

I have a one year old that throws herself on the ground screams and cries and every thing. I asked the doctor about it because when we were there she had one and I just didnt pay any attention to her at all. The doctor looked at me and said I just did the best thing that anyone can do.

Biting= chew him back. (no longer stressful) basically like a easy pinch. sufficient the place he feels it yet do no longer circulate zombie on him and freaking circulate away enamel marks. Hitting= grab his wrists and carry them down next to him at an identical time as sternly asserting NO! If that resolves into him kicking then spin him around and supply him a smack on his backside with the palm of your hand, yet no longer too stressful. teenagers many times get the image even no remember if it rather is not stressful. Screaming= If on my own, forget approximately approximately him thoroughly and circulate away the room. If in public, (like a great marketplace) Take him to the bathing room and the two self-discipline him or a minimum of get close to his face and tell him to provide up screaming. nonetheless a minimum of one speedy spanking interior the bathing room is often sufficient to the place if it occurs lower back you could basically threaten "do no longer make me take you to the bathing room."
