\"How<\/figure>

It is inevitable \u2013 if you have a toddler, you have experienced a tantrum.\u00a0 Tantrums can be frustrating, embarrassing, and heart wrenching when you do not know how to help your little preschooler.\u00a0 You may not be able to completely avoid tantrums, but the way in which you handle them can make them a bit less stressful on both you and your preschooler.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remain Calm<\/span><\/h4>\n

Your toddler needs you to share your calm during the time he isn\u2019t able to be calm.\u00a0 Raising your voice or becoming forceful is not going to end your little one\u2019s tantrum sooner, but will add to the chaos going on in his head.\u00a0 Instead, take a few deep breaths and model calmness for your preschooler.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

React Appropriately<\/span><\/h4>\n

Pay attention to your child\u2019s cues to determine why they may be having a tantrum.\u00a0 If you think your little one may be hungry or sleepy, take time to tend to those needs.\u00a0 If the tantrum is occurring to obtain an item or attention, try to avoid giving the desired item until your child is calm to avoid the confusion that a tantrum is the way to obtain her desires.\u00a0 Wait until your child is fully calm and then talk about the appropriate way to get what she wants (i.e. \u201cMommy, I want a hug.\u201d).\u00a0 It may be helpful to practice appropriately asking for something through role play with your child.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let Go<\/span><\/h4>\n

Preschoolers want to be independent, which sometimes leads to tantrums.\u00a0 It can be difficult for a child to always have someone else making all his decisions and doing everything for him.\u00a0 Let go of some of the control and let him make his own decisions.\u00a0 Give him choices you can live with to shape his choices.\u00a0 For example, instead of asking, \u201cWhat do you want for lunch?\u201d ask \u201cDo you want a turkey sandwich or mac and cheese for lunch?\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why<\/span><\/h4>\n

Part of dealing with a tantrum is to understand why they happen and that they are a normal part of child development.\u00a0 <\/span>KidsHealth<\/span><\/a> explains why children have tantrums and provides more tips on how to handle them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
