DS (3 in March) responds REALLY well to RIE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2684294 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 23:47:52 +0000 PinkElephant 2684294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not always with grace.....hehehe. I'm working on it.</p> <p>I (try to) politely tell my 4.5 year old that I really can't understand her...if she persists, I say I won't listen to her tantrum, and ask her to go up to her room until she can calm down. If she refuses, I escort her. For my 2.5 year old, I try to ignore it and let her ride it out wherever she is. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I feel like it's developmentally appropriate for her, whereas the 4.5 year old is old enough to manage her feelings a little bit better.</p> <p>Both know they can ask for a hug when they're ready to pull themselves together. I'll offer when it looks like they are calming down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2684288 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 23:13:33 +0000 Greentea 2684288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she is freaking out a little bit I just try to stay calm, nonjudgmental. Usually a hug helps. I try to encourage her to work it out with words. I tell her "we'll get through this."</p> <p>She scream cries, that's a challenge when the baby sleeps. She is allowed to cry but i have to ask her to do it quietly or go in the back room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2684285 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 23:06:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2684285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to channel my inner Janet Lansbury and sit with him and say "I know it's hard when..." he's been snapping out of it pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2684262 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 21:34:57 +0000 Coffee-lover 2684262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we are in an area that is safe (not the middle of a parking lot) I will either stand or sit next to my daughter and tell her im sorry she is upset and then stay quiet Most of the time within a minute or two the tantrum will turn to crying and she wants hugs and cuddles. A couple times she got really upset and walked away, so I left her alone to deal with her emotions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2683464 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 17:57:31 +0000 Boogs 2683464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on what it's for, usually time out or ignoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-your-los-tantrums#post-2683448 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 17:44:59 +0000 Bao 2683448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tantrums are a daily thing over here, I'm pretty good about staying calm but I never know what to actually do. If I should ignore, put into their room/time out, something else? .When your kids are having a tantrum how do you handle it? </p>
