Throwing tantrums are becoming common this days in children and especially amongst the toddler. They do this for different reasons some do it so they can get attention and some to get what they want. Screaming.  Kicking. Occasional biting. tantrums are a normal development stage, and they often occur as a reaction to strong emotions that they don’t have the ability to share about something to you. We’ve all heard of “Terrible Twos,” but in many children tantrums begin far before the first birthday, sometimes as early as nine months. Here are 10 ways to avoid and ultimately deal with tantrums:

1.  The best way to cope with any tantrum – public or private – is to ignore it and let it take its course. Even though, ignoring a tantrum isn’t always possible. If it happens in a public place, try to remove your child from the scene. If you can, take her outside to the car and let her scream it out there.
2. When you go to public places, carry items that will create a diversion to help avoid a scene and give yourself peace of mind. Their favourite early learning toys t might do the trick.
3. A child who has already lost control can be brought to consciousness by splashing few drops of water on her face. This has the same effect as slapping a hysterical person to shock, then back to reality.
4. A parent is too angry to be rational; she should leave the room and ask another caretaker to take charge for a few moments.
5. Many parents actually become model for their children how to perform temper tantrums by yelling, screaming and even hitting when they get to the end of their rope. Realize that by doing this, you are teaching your child how to misbehave.
6. The majority of parents need to learn ways to discipline their children. Effective discipline helps a child develop empathy and self-control.
7. For the very young, explanations that “Daddy is busy” just aren’t going to be enough. What you can do, though, is offer an alternative, such as “Daddy is busy right now, would you like to draw some pictures for a while?”
8. When your child throws things, try some variation of “Uh-oh, toys aren’t for throwing. If you’re angry and you don’t want them you can give it to Mommy or put it on the table. You can have it back when you’re ready to be gentle.” To get the toy out of sight, you might put it in your child’s toy box.
9. Take the time to play and talk with you toddler regularly– the first step to avoiding tantrums is setting up good communication with your child.
10. Try to foresee tantrums, divert your child before one erupts, and remember that most toddlers can’t be easily calmed down once a tantrum start, pick up your child if you think he will hurt himself.
