How to handle tantrums?
Patient: How do I get my 7 year old daughter from throwing so many tantrums? I have had enough of it and just want her to stop. She is unreasonable and I am not able to talk to her when she is in the midst of this fits. I often walk away from her or lock myself in a room just to keep myself calm, but she follows me and kicks the door. This outburst occur when she doesn t get her way. Doctor: Temper tantrums can not be controlled pharmacologically. the parent has to keep his calm and give multiple time outs to the child once the tantrum starts.The best way is to intercede before the tantrum is about to start.Give choices to the child and explain him/her about the condition.dont show your anger upon him, it will only worsen the condition.Show him how would you react if you were angry at some point and make him learn to control his anger as you do.
