I myself am guilty of feeding into my daughters temper tantrums or trying to calm them down with whatever bribe possible, especially if they are acting out in public. Luckily, my children's temper tantrums aren't that frequent, but I do plan on trying this technique the next time a tantrum arises. It's simply amazing how something so simple can make a tantrum go away. It does make sense though. Kids feed off of attention, and kids know that if they throw a temper tantrum, they will get attention. So indeed, the best way to handle the situation is to ignore it.

I babysit and I'm also going to be an elementary school teacher. I've seen plenty of teachers and parents giving into their children and getting mad and over all, giving the child more attention. The best way for a child to improve their behavior is to ignore them when they are having a tantrum.Jennifer Custerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022063428859582962noreply@blogger.com
