Your 3 Year Olds
Temper Tantrums
Does your 3 year olds temper tantrums drive you crazy?
Almost all parents complain about this, but it doesn't have to be
this way. Do you have a boy or a girl?
Studies show us it doesn't matter which sex is
involved.
You don't need to fight it any longer. First of all, about half of 3 year olds will have temper tantrums once a
week. I just wanted to know you're not alone.
The temper tantrums are normal and you have heard that from
everyone. You had them when you where 3 years old.
No matter what you do as a parent you will experience 2 and 3 year
olds having temper tantrums. The big difference is you can
actually control them and encourage your child to stop that behavior. Remember, your child did not come with a parent manual. There are clinical studies today based on
untold hours of research that clearly defines the reasons for this behavior.
The lucky part for you is that research has been done and
condensed into parent management programs. These parenting
guides teach you exactly how to understand your child's temper tantrums, why they do it and what
your response should be. Remember your 3 year old child is
testing the world around them to find the limits.
For example, your 3 year old wants to play with that toy.
Now that would normally be fine but it is time to take their bath so
they can't play with that toy. Your child starts to
scream. Many parents may want to give in and put off the bath
thinking this will satisfy the child by letting them have their own way. Research tells us this is a huge mistake because your child immediately learns
screaming and temper tantrums allow then to get their own way.
If you don't think your child doesn't learns that quickly you need
to understand your child better. Now think about how many times you have given into your child and
unknowingly taught them to have more temper tantrums. Don't
blame yourself, most parents just don't know. it is a huge
trial and error process for them.
The earlier you start teaching your child the correct behavior
with positive feedback the quicker the temper tantrums will subside. That means the quicker you will start to have some peace for yourself.
It really is a simple process if you know what to look for and how to
respond.
The number one thing a parent should do early on in parenting is
educate his/herself as much as possible about the normal frequency and intensity of temper tantrums
for your child’s age, how to quickly and firmly dissolve the situation, and what to look for
should the temper tantrum be a sign of another problem.
If after studying a parent
management program and implementing the strategies your child persists with the defiant behavior
you should seek professional advice. However, most normal 3
year old children respond very nicely and can be taught to be
that great beautiful child you know they can be.
