The good news is that it’s hard to cause damage with one interaction-that means we get re-do’s and do-overs when we lose our cool and yell. This will impact their very existence: the way they interact with others, the characteristics they display as a partner to someone, and the way they parent your grandchildren (and so much more).The bad news is that over time, we can do severe damage to our tiniest of humans if we aren’t aware of our own adult reactions. The way we react to tantrums will help build (or destroy) a child’s emotional intelligence and their ability to process feelings in the future. Just like they are all throwing tantrums for different reasons and at different times. Children require different approaches because they are all bringing different sets of skills and development to the table. It seems counterintuitive since we’ve all grown up in a “keeping things fair” world, but children are the exception to this rule. This means that children in the same family may require two different approaches to behaviors, rewards, and overall expectations. Every child is different and they all deserve individual approaches to help support their emotional development in the best way possible for them. The way you react to tantrums should be based on individual children. When it comes to tantrums, there are many things to consider like your child’s age, their language development, safety, and the end goal. Yes, that’s right, children whose family never move out of Tantrumland grow up to be adults who throw adult tantrums. Then again, some families stay here forever. It’s a stop in toddlerhood that most families visit at least for a short period. Are you currently walking in the space in parenthood where your child is a tiny dictator, as fragile as egg shells and as unpredictable as New England weather? Have there been moments that you were convinced your sweet angel had actually been possessed by a demon? Do you find yourself wondering if your child will want this blue cup or that blue cup? Welcome to what we call Tantrumland.
