- CHAMOMILE: Chamomile is one of the most soothing herbal teas around and also have a profound effect on mood for everyone including children. Though limiting the use is recommended.

chamomile can be a wonderful way to prevent a temper tantrum, especially if
your child seems prone to high-energy and highly emotional meltdowns.

YOGA: Yoga is usually associated with adults,
but yoga for kids is also a popular trend, especially in cities where kids
often seem as active and busy as adults. Yoga can be a way for children to
learn how to harness and understand their emotions, rather than letting them
explode in emotional outbursts.
3.
PREVENTING FATIGUE: When children get tired,
they get cranky, and when children get cranky, they use temper tantrums to
express their displeasure – essentially saying, “Saying something’s not right”.
So, you should try and ensure that your
child gets the proper amount of sleep each night, and if they need naps
throughout the day, make sure they get some undisturbed rest.
4.
AVOIDING HUNGER: When children are hungry, they
want to eat RIGHT NOW, and given that their social constructs of patience and
logistics aren’t fully developed yet. Always keep a healthy snack on hand when
you’re going out for the day with your children, but avoid sugary foods,
because they will give a quick energy boost, and then the sugar crash, which
can result in a temper tantrum.
5.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION: Most children
throw temper tantrums in order to gain attention. Though toddlers are
fascinated with autonomy, but they still need love and attention from their
parents, and when they feel ignored, they may lashed out emotionally with a
temper tantrum.
Respect what your child have to say, and
don’t dismiss their demands and feelings just because they are young and
whining. Children often knows when they’re being manipulated, so honestly
listen to what they’re saying and try to grant their wishes, within reason.

anger. Considering that a temper tantrums are anxiety-induced episodes,
boosting potassium levels is a wise idea, and a delicious one that will give
your children a number of other health benefits too.

reliable ways to prevent temper tantrums.

HIDING TEMPTATIONS: Children have endless
curiosity and inherently hedonistic tendencies. When they see something they
want, it can be difficult to reason with them.
9.
COMMUNICATION: Opening up a line of
communication between you and your child, particularly if they are prone to
emotional outbursts, may encourage them to be able to identify the root cause
of the problem before your child makes a scene in the produce aisle.
10.
MASSAGE: Massage is one of the most effective
way to prevent temper tantrums from your child. If your child seems to hold
high levels of anxiety, which will spill over into outbursts and melt downs,
then simple massage therapy can be used in the home.

and prevent the bottling up of tension and frustration.
