It is not something new that toddlers would throw temper tantrums every now and then, especially when they don't get what they want or whenever they feel uncomfortable. They also seem to do this whenever you take them out to grocery stores and other public places. To spare you the embarrassment and headache when your toddler is on one, check out these top three ways on how to tame your toddler:
1. Snacks and Toys: In an article published by BBC, they cited a mother who shared her fair share of experiences when it comes to taming her toddler and her solution involves some bags of snacks, toys and different types of distractions. Apparently, anything that could bribe them out of their moment of stubbornness would work.
2. Only Use The Word "No" When Really Needed: According to Pregnancy.org, parents who tend to overuse the word "no" to their kids would no longer be effective if they use it when their toddler threw a tantrum. It is suggested to only use it when the moment really calls for it.
3. Yelling At Them Won't Work: If you think that you could get their attention by raising your voice at them in public, then you got it all wrong. Toddlers are more likely to respond if you talk to them in a soft tone. They feel more comforted, which is why it is easier for them to calm down.
These three tips in taming your toddler have been tried and tested by lots of parents online. May their experiences help you with your little ones as well.
