All children throw up temper tantrums once in a while, and this is the indication that the child is out of control.
Parents should note never to punish or reward a child for the tantrum, and remain calm when the tantrum takes place. Yelling or spanking from the parents side would only make the situation worse, and giving in to the child’s unreasonable demand would only encourage the child to throw tantrums in an even more intensity at an even more frequency. Since the child would be out of control, it is important to ensure that the child remains safe, and isolate him or her if necessary.
The best way to deal with the tantrum is to ignore the child until the tantrum passes. Once the child settles down, it is necessary to talk and explain why such behavior is not appropriate. Teach them the alternative to throwing tantrums, which would be asking or demonstration. Even toddlers who are unable to speak would understand if the parents explain things to them in a coherent manner.
