Five child restraint techniques tantrums

Remember, you know your child well

You know that it tires. You know how to help him. And you know what the situation upset the child. Prepare it before it will be in a new environment. Say: "If you feel that you're tired, let me know. We will rest. Good? If you're upset and feel that they no longer stand up, tell me and we'll go home. If you threw a tantrum, we still go home. " If parents really know the nature of the child and discuss with him the plans in advance, it is easier to manage the child's behavior in public places.

Encourage your child slowly

If parents know that the child is large enough tantrums in public places, they should try the so-called "slow dive." In other words, if the child can not stand going to the mall, lead him to start the pharmacy. Say, "Let's look at your behavior. We go inside for five to ten minutes. " Parents need to clearly define the rules. Thus, instead of the shopping center you are in a more controlled situation and close to the child. Begin training with small, teach the child to communicate and teach it to solve problems and act like everyone else.

Write down the rules and keep them handy

Before you take the child with him in a public place, you must identify limitations in his behavior. Children need to know exactly what will happen. For children from 9 to 12 years, parents are advised to keep the card in the car with the three rules of conduct:

  • Responding to a request from the first time
  • Take "no" for an answer
  • Do not raise your voice and behave.

Read the rules written on the card before you enter the mall or store. These actions will help the child to control himself. Read the rules of the child develops a model of behavior.

It is necessary to look at the situation from the other side: Let's say you increase the speed and you fined. Presumably, when the next time you are in a hurry, you will remember how to feel when you are paid no more than a fine and do not exceed the speed. And it really works, for example, in America, in every state on the roads every ten kilometers, you can see the sign of the speed limit. Therefore, you must always provide the child appropriate reminders that will facilitate concentration.

If the rules are still violated

If a child violates the rules established for it, you have to take him out of the mall. If he is satisfied with the fit, stay with him, and when he finished, take him out of the store. All the show is over, no more joint purchases.

Younger children, you can simply take the hand and lead to the car. But if they resist, do not use physical force. Let your child arrange a tantrum. Sit and watch the scene. And if people will ask questions, answer: "He's hysterical, and nothing I can do about it." Parents must do so each time, until the child is no longer hold public scene. If you have the opportunity, take a magazine or a book to a child could see that it does not attract your attention to his bad behavior.

Of course, this can put parents in an awkward situation. But you must understand that children are also aware that their behavior bother you. This is emotional blackmail, which the child is applying to you. So children think: "Surrender to me, or I'll blackmail you in front of all these adults. I'm going to embarrass you, and you will find yourself in a difficult situation. " Everything is very simple. Parents should not allow your child to make himself a hostage of his bad behavior.

Remember, if you are not going to make concessions to the child, he begins to look for other ways to solve problems.

Leave the baby at home

There is nothing wrong to put the child at home under supervision. Tell him: "You're not going, with me today, because you can not control their behavior. The last time we went shopping, you threw a tantrum, so now you're staying at home. "

If the child promises to behave well, begs, tell him: "Let's see how you will behave in the house. If you can do it, then we'll talk. " And yet, leave it at home. Let the child know that you are not going to give in to blackmail and that you are a strong personality - and when you decide you're not going to change it.

That is the simple truth: if children use inappropriate behavior to get their way, they will never learn to solve problems .  If they do not possess this skill, they are not adapted to adult life .  We can often observe adults who are angry and shouting at each other whenever experiencing emotional distress .  The reason for this, in a sense, communicative skills are poor and lack of problem-solving skills .  Faced with a problem, they only know how to avoid it .  But sometimes it is developing within them, until they can not stand and break .  Therefore, you should take a clear position and not allow your child to keep you hostage to his bad behavior .  Do not succumb to emotional blackmail, when your child is threatened by a scandal .  Parents need to tune in to what the child has to go to bed now without hysterics .  That is the main task of the parents .  You must teach their children the skills they need .  If you can do it, you took as a parent .
