Tantrums

I take the step back deal with my big feelings and tell them how it made me feel and then talk to them about how they were feeling so they can express their feelings instead of having a tantrum

It depends on the situation. Often I find that if I stand my ground on the boundary and then also give my son a hug and try to sooth him, he calms down. For bad behavior though, I give time outs, and often just the threat of a time out works. Or I say I’m going to take away his toy if he’s not treating it with care or not cleaning it up. It depends on the situation. Sometimes I just distract him with something else. Or I’ll remind him of something good he’ll get soon.

Oh I’ll also say “hmm you seem to be tired if you’re acting like this.. maybe you need to sleep?” And you know how they hate that idea lol. So that might stop it at times.

Depending on the situation. I be firm. Tell her no or whatever she needs to stops doing (sometimes her father chimes in). Her feelings are hurt at this point so she cries hysterically. I walk her to a corner with her bean bag or hard chair (whatever is available and a plush so she can let it out. After a few minutes i talk to her and if its something that needs to be cleaned or fix, i make her do it.
