A parent's guide to deal with tantrums

  The child falls to the ground, howls, screams, does not listen, does not reason ... Tantrums are usually common at two years (almost no child of this age gets rid of them), but they can last a few more years, so I can I can give some guidelines  to know how to deal with them by my own experience. At the supermarket, when leaving the park, or even worse, on a plane ... it seems that children have a special nose when choosing the most inopportune moment to put on the show.  And if the tantrum is with the public, the better.  Children constantly test us and we despair, but we must bear in mind that they do not do it with the intention of annoying us.  They just don't know how to express themselves in another way yet.  At the moment, the child does not have the language so developed as to express what he wants and does not yet know how to handle the anger or frustration that he is feeling so intensely.  Then what do we do?  Wait until 4 years? ...

But make no mistake about it: if for beginner parents, adolescence can look like a descent into hell, the terrible two has also knocked out more than one.
