Hi, my 2 year old throws temper tantrum, hits and bites anyone, he seems so frustrated...what do we need to do....cant take him anywhere, it sad to see him like this....hes going to be 3 in may this year....should tempers be at a minimum by now?? Thank You Marie Brown
Hi...Tantrums may happen when kids are tired, hungry, or uncomfortable; or because they can't get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. Learning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over time.
Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when language skills are starting to develop. Because toddlers can't yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. As language skills improve, tantrums tend to decrease.
This is what you can do to avoid or prevent tantrums - 1. Give plenty of positive attention 2. Try to give toddlers some control over little things 3. Keep off-limits objects out of sight and out of reach 4. Distract your child 5. Help kids learn new skills and succeed 6. Consider the request carefully when your child wants something 7. Know your child's limits Reghards – Dr. Sumanth
