A calm and firm attitude of the parents is ideal to face them.

Patties are a form of physical protest that often appears in childhood and is usually triggered by frustration. They are characterized by episodes of anger in which the child falls to the ground, kicks and screams.

These behaviors occur in boys and girls between 18 months and three years of age, a stage that corresponds to a growing development of their autonomy. Experts consider that they are a normal development milestone.

One smart way you can cope with simple behaviors is to remain calm, ignore this behavior and establish a dialogue with your child at the end of the episode, when they are calm, with ability and attitude of listening. During the tantrum you should avoid scolding, advising and giving explanations to the little ones.

The tantrums with high levels of aggression or that present themselves in a repetitive and prolonged way, deserve a more individualized management. Sometimes they require the help of a professional.

When the tantrum happens in a public place like the supermarket or the street, it is advisable to move your child to a more private place, in order to avoid at all costs giving in to their whims despite the social pressure that this implies.

The origins of tantrums are often associated with the application of inconsistent parenting patterns that confuse boys and girls and encourage the emergence of explosive behaviors in them.

You should not lose control at any time. It is necessary to keep in mind that in this, as in so many other situations of parenting, the example is decisive and, as the writer André Gide wisely affirmed, “true force is expressed in the calmness with which one works.”
