Childrens temper tantrums

 

Childrens temper tantrums are more common than ever.  What has caused the increase in childrens temper tantrums?  Smart post-baby-boomers might say that it’s because we can’t discipline our children like we used to.  “Whatever happened to the spanking?” many say.  Some experts say childrens temper tantrums are made worse by the lack of respect shown toward adults in the media.  There are many theories, but the fact that every child is an individual and every person can make a difference can still hold true. 

In Stromple and the Super-Huge Temper Tantrum, Stromple throws a tantrum, runs away with the promise that he will never return, and ends up very far from home before he realizes that it’s very scary being so far from home.  He learns a few lessons – here’s what your young child can learn:

• It’s okay to be upset
• When you’re upset, temper tantrums are not the right way to deal with your frustrations
• Parents have rules for a reason – because they love their children, want to keep them safe, and are responsible for helping their children become…well…responsible in turn.
• When you act out, you are not the only person who is affected.
• It’s okay to feel sorry, and it’s very important to say you’re sorry.
• When you act responsibly, parents will be happy with your actions and your relationship with them will grow stronger and stronger.
