In the Daily Mail, Kathryn shared her tantrum - taming advice to help dads and moms turn their little brats into peaceful angels.
1. Look on the brighter side.
According to Mewes, sometimes parents are very quick to punish and criticize their kids for just a small misdemeanor.Motivated by the Scotts, the very first family Kathryn stops by in her most recent series, she advises not to pick up on petty behavior.
On her recent show's first episode, she tells Becky Scott, 23 and Chris Scott, 37 that "telling children off for not getting off the chair when you ask them shouldn't be your automatic response."The couple confessed that both of them were at the end of their wit by the hostile behavior shown by their kids Freddie, 2 and Bobbie, 3.She told Chris that whenever he needs disciplining the kids, he must send them onto their rooms as well as make it very clear to them why they're being punished and what they've done wrong.
2. Introduce a yell place for kids and adults
The expert says that it is alright to shout oftentimes, even as an adult. According to Kathryn, "Teach children that throughout life you will always be in situations where you feel like having a tantrum."She recommends having an area at home, far off from the place where you could be judged and seen, to give off all your aggravations.
3. Rewards, Rewards, Rewards
Rewarding minor good deeds adds together to much better all-round behavior.Kathryn recommends a simple and easy reward system which recognizes small achievements. The rewards she suggested are a train without wheels or brick tower, which both can be filled out when the kids behave well.
"A reward system really empowers the whole family," shared by modern Nanny McPhee on the Mirror.
4. No to Violence.
Kathryn Mewes, who has more than 20 years of great experience dealing with kids, says that all forms of violence are unacceptable and parents must demonstrate to children."Pinching, biting, hitting... all forms of violence are unacceptable and you must show your child that," shares Kathryn.She recommends utilizing a powerful voice tone with the kids and counting one to three before sending them to their bedrooms.
5. Follow the three days plan.
Kathryn suggests stressed parents to follow her tantrum - taming tricks for at least three days.She said: "Don't beat yourself up about it if you lapse. But if you feel you've fallen off the waggon, get straight back on it."She recommends sticking to her action plan for just two days in succession to create a habit your kids will remember. At the third day, she tells that, "You'll start seeing positive results fully."
