How do you deal with constant tantrums of a 2-3 yr old? When do they stop throwing these tantrums?

Answer 1

All children from toddlers until they are old enough to leave home are susceptible to throwing tantrums or losing their temper ,,,,, These tantrums you are describing with your toddler will probably stop when you establish your dominance over the child by just putting him/her in their room and pay no attention to them ,,,, Explain that they will just have to stay in their room until they decide to behave ,,,,, and be good to your word ,,,, Don't let them come out until your demands are met ,,,,,Let the child rant and rave all he/she wants ,,,, don't try to stop it ,,,,,, Once he/she starts to realize that his/her behavior isn't getting him/her anywhere without an audience ,,, they will eventually get tired of putting out all that effort and it should stop ,,,,, How long you have to do this depends on how stubborn the child is though ,,,,But above all ,,,, BE CONSISTENT ,,,,,It's in the nature of a child to always push the envelope ,,,,, so to speak ,,,,, or test their limits,,,So every time the child starts this behavior ,,,, in their room they go ,,,,, This is also a battle of wills between you and your child ,,, and a very good opportunity to establish your dominance and authority over the them ,,,,, For the sake of your child as well as your own,,,, and to maintain peace and quiet in the home you must take control ,,,,, Don't let your child bully you ,,, so to speak ,,,,,, Once he/she realizes that you are the alpha female,,,, the better it's going to be for the both of you ,,,, After your authority is established and your child starts acting up ,,,,you can exercise that authority by simply asking if they want to go to their room and that will usually calm them down ,,,, If it doesn't then like I said ,, be consistant and put them back in their room ,,,,,As I said earlier ,,,, once you've established your dominance then you shouldn't have much trouble in that area ,,,,,,,Once you have control in the home then you'll also have control out in public ,,,,,,,,, Yoda said that ,,,,, good luck

Answer 2

I have a 2 yr 9 month old girl. She has stopped throwing as many tantrums once I started to send her to her room to scream and cry. Ignoring it didn't help in her case.. so I told her if she had to scream and cry.. she needed to go to her room. That helped and also don't give in to tantrums. If you do, the child knows you are about to give in and will keep it up.

Good Luck!

Most of these "tantrums" occur because of a level of frustration. At this age kids are not able to communicate as well as they can understand. They are needing/wanting things or to communicate things they cannot find the words for. Teaching certain sign language words can be effective. Also, if you can find faces that are expressing different emotions, then they can try to express how they feel by showing you. Try to stay calm and try to express for them how they feel. Ask them: "Are you feeling hurt, sad, mad, etc. If they know that you know how/what they are feeling, you can help stop a tantrum in its tracks.
It will get better as the vocabulary of the child improves. It just takes lots and lots of time.

My 2 year old just had her first public display tonight while I was shopping with her. I know it was becasue she was tired. She did the drop and flop at the grocery store (Drop & flop, when she drops to the ground all limp while I am holding her hand and then I almost have to drag her) I just humoured her, and start playing a whispering game where I would try and whisper something in her ear, like, I love you. It tickled her and she started laughing. Things worked out this time. Kids have bad days too sometimes. I am so lucky, normally, she always smiles and is happy. But she has just only turned 2. so I am not too sure whats ahead of me. Good luck.

Answer 5

Ignore the tantrums, the reason they throw them is to get your attention, stop giving you attention and the tantrums will slowly end.

Answer 6

I agree to time outs...just remember that 1 min per yr for time out..if your child is 3 then 3 min time out. It gives them a chance to calm down also..or you could also try to totally ignore the tantrum a couple of times. Kids test to see what kind of reaction they can get out of you, games usually over if they get none at all. But if that doesn't work, definately time out

I have to take my daughter into a quiet place and calmly try to talk to her and figure out how we can settle the problem. If that doesnt work, I put her in her room for a time out until she can come talk to me without yelling or whining.
