What is a temper tantrum?

Kicking

Screaming

Whining

Crying

Breath holding

Temper tantrums are more common in children ages 1 to 3 years old.

*Rewards do not have to be materialistic.

What to do during a temper tantrum

Remember to try and stay calm when your child starts acting up because this is a normal part of the child’s development.

Don’t give in or reward the tantrum, but reward* good behavior.

Ex: If they normally have a tantrum at a specific place, but you go there and they behave themselves let them know that they have done good.

When to call the doctor

You should call the doctor if you have any questions on how to handle more

destructive behavior or hard time resisting giving into the child’s demands.

What to do after the temper tantrum

Hug them and let them know that they are loved.

Don’t give in to what they wanted even after they have calmed down because it will lead them to believe that temper tantrums will work.
