Tantrums?
Tantrums are the bane of every parent’s life. Just how do you cope when a storm rears ugly head? When time is not on your side, why not use the expertise of other parents and make your introduction into "toddler world" that little bit easier.
I bought this book when my son turned 1. To be honest I don’t even know why. Maybe it’s my subconscious telling me this is one of the serious part in parenting and I might need it.
Discipline and showing your little one that you are the boss.
I am having a grand time with my first child and yes, he has his own version of tantrums. Sometimes when he is having so much of that fun and good time, he tends to ask for more and when you don’t give it…he cries. My style is--- I distract him with something else so it‘s not really that hard for me. I think of tantrums normal at this stage (toddler world). It’s up to the parents how will they deal with it without hurting the child emotionally and psychologically. I may say this is the most important part. It is when the parents are mold their child to become "the person" as he grows. This is the base of the total personality of the child.
We know stories about problem child or teenagers. If you’re going to trace it, that end of the rope leads you to either poor parenting or trauma. I’m not saying all, that’s most cases.
May I recommend this book ( Last Straw Strategies---Tantrums by: Michelle Kennedy) to parents who wants first hand solutions to this stage. It is very entertaining and somewhat funny, because you become a kid yourself with all the adjustments you’ll make in handling certain Toddler situations.
