Toddler Tantrums!Remember
adorable little cherub you brought home from hospital?
Ah, It seems like only yesterday. Now your baby has grown into a toddler. The world to them is filled with wonderment, learning and discovery... and frustrations. Things are wonderful, when all of a sudden, your little cherub turns into a little monster.
Your toddler has just shown you power of 'T' word... Tantrum. It is something every parent dreads, but it is inevitable at one point or another.
A tantrum is like an emotional blown fuse. It is not something your child can prevent. Tantrums generally occur when your child is very frustrated. The load of frustration builds up inside him until he is so full of tension that only an explosion can release it. He may run around room wildly screaming, he may throw himself on floor kicking and screaming. He seems to be totally out of control, and he is.
So what's a parent to do?
You can help to prevent tantrums by organizing your toddler's life so that frustration stays within his tolerance limits most of time. This is not easy. You will not always mange to strike right balance between amount of frustration that is useful to your toddler's learning and amount which is too much.
