  1. HOW TO TAME A TEMPER TANTRUM htt//youtu.be/Q1ZR4Av-HBI

  2. INTRODUCTION Tantrums are an expression of a need. A. Attention Seeking B. Escape/Avoidance C. Access Tangible D. Sensory Needs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ZR4Av-HBI

  3. THREE STAGES OF A TANTRUM A. Pre-tantrum build up (escalation) B. Full blown meltdown C. Post-tantrum cool down

  4. PREVENTION All Behaviors: * Serve a purpose * Occur for a reason If you figure out what the child really needs or wants you will be able to figure out how to prevent the tantrum in the first place.

  5. IGNORE * If your attention is the thing that’s kindling the fire; withdraw it. Even if you cant safely walk away, you can refuse to engage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpSfThUv_pc

  6. AMUSE * Silly song * Little tickle * Funny face * Something goofy to get the child laughing instead of squealing.

  7. DISTRACT/REDIRECT Knowing your child as well as you do, use whatever bag of tricks you know will work. httpwww.youtube.com/watch?v=rMjrrNF2QGU ://

  8. PICK AND CHOOSE BATTLES • If you are going to “give in”- do it early.

  9. RELOCATE When you foresee this being a BIG one in a public place, when possible, get up and go! You can always go back to the market or target later.

  10. Look for Patterns What is going on in the environment? Are they hungry? Are they tired? Do you notice behaviors happen at certain times or places? Is there sun in their eyes? Is it noisy?

  11. ACCEPT Child may need to struggle with some behavior to learn new and better ways of communicating. • It’s okay to “know” that a behavior is going to happen and allow it to happen…it’s part of how we learn!

  12. KEY CONCEPTS • Three S’s= Safe, Sane, Simple
