So what exactly is a Temper Tantrum and how to teach during these times?

A temper tantrum  is an uncontrolled outburst of anger that says things like this:

“I really want that toy”,
“I want the juice now”,
“I want a pancake not cereal”,
“I want my ketchup on the other side of the plate”,
“I don’t like these shoes”,
“I’m not ready to be at the table”,
“I don’t want my diaper changed”,
“I’m not ready for a bath”,
“I don’t want to come out of the bath”,
“I want a bath now”,
“I want to go outside”,
“I don’t want to get dressed”,
“not that t-shirt”,
“no sweater”,
“another cookie”,
“I like my winter coat” even though it’s spring,
“not the car seat”,
“I’m not finished in the park”….

Before we can teach children what we expect of them in any situation, we must clearly define for ourselves what we want to have happen. Giving them the opportunity to make mistakes, give consequences that teach and assure them they have the opportunity to “get it right”.

We don’t have to fear a tantrum or feed one either. “Tools in your pocket” tantrum workshops  show you how to do just that. We’ll navigate through behavior issues while bringing life to your child’s learning in a positive way, one that impacts their own healthy sense of self and ensures success within the family.
