It's a Mom's World Home

some sort of tantrum is a result from an unfit sleeping habits and if she slept exhaustively after a very tiring day. it is not also good to put your child at sleep when she's too much of drained before she went off to bed because this will result to a fluctuation of behavior by the time she wakes up. sometimes it's just really that normal morning for a not so good morning day and even adults experience that same tantrums too although we are able to control it at manner.

even if you are doing the best you can do, tolerating her actions and ways towards you as her parents is not right. discipline her in the righteous ways. show her the authority that you need to do. when you try to get angry and show it to her, show it as if you are really serious with your actions.

I don't have too much advice. My son did that twice. He had a huge fit and bit himself. I was shocked. Didn't break the skin but left a big red mark. I just told him not to do that and held him for a little bit until he calmed down and then asked him what he wanted. If he can't have that I explain why and then quickly switch his attention to something else. Example: If you took the toy away from your daughter so she can take her bath and she throws a fit I would pick her up bring her in the bathroom and calm her down, tell her why she shouldn't act that way while taking her clothes off and before she knew it she is in the tub and you are playing with her.

My daughter does this often in her fits. It worried me at first but the dr. did not seem concerned when we told her. She said it is normal. She also likes to hit her head on the floor (carpet). It is their way of showing frustration because they don't have the words yet! We of course don't want her to hurt herself, so we always stand guard and will stop her if we think she will hurt herself. Our dr. said to walk out of the room or turn your back so they know it is not getting your attention, but still keep an eye on them.

We started spanking our son the second he throws a fit. We never do it out of anger. I just say, no we dont do that and give him a firm swat on the butt. Normally he just stops and gets up, without even crying. You have to be consistant with whatever you choose to do. The american academy of pediactrics says that spanking a child under 5 is much more effective than reasoning with them.

You can give your kid choices. It really distracts my son from tantrums. Also, I was thinking when he says, "Cookie?" instead of saying, "No, finish your breakfast," could you say somet hing like, "Sure, you can have a cookie if you take 3 more bites of your breakfast," or "Okay, we'll get a cookie after your breakfast is all gone!" Try to turn a negative situation into a positive so she feels she's being rewarded instead of being punished.

Have you tried distracting her. Maybe a favorite toy or a prize of some kind like a sticker. Not to stop having a tantrum but to continuing doing what she is supposed to be doing. Like in the example of throwing a tantrum for not getting a cookie maybe get out a sticker and say "Look what I have. It's only for good girls who finish their breakfast."
