Many parents find themselves helpless and exhausted when dealing with children who are constantly misbehaving. The following methods will help parents address this issue effortlessly.
If your child tends to act out in various situations, and you're unsure how to handle it, try applying the following methods to resolve misbehavior without resorting to physical punishment.
Approach to Handling Mischievous Behavior 1:
When dealing with a tantrum-prone child, parents should carry their child into a separate room, lock the door to ensure no external interference. Set the child down, tidy up the surroundings to ensure no hazards, turn on a fan (if it's hot), and have a face towel ready for the child to use as needed. If the child exhibits signs of vomiting, parents should have a basin ready and a towel for cleanup. Subsequently, parents should remove their earphones to listen to music while keeping a vigilant eye on the child without blinking.
If the child stands up and grabs the parents' earphones, resistance must be applied. If resistance fails, remove the earphones and sit on the bed. Fold both legs so that the knees are close to the face. Press the face against the knees, arms hugging across the legs. At this point, when the child is prone to tearing and pulling, seeking attention from the parents, the parents should remain indifferent. Parents should try to maintain this sitting position until the child stops crying on their own. After the child has stopped crying and forgotten the tantrum, parents should not lecture, as the child does not comprehend such guidance at this moment. Parents should stand up and engage in other activities, treating the tantrum as if it never occurred and not bringing it up again. Parents only need to patiently handle it a few times like this, and the phenomenon of tantrums will gradually decrease and eventually disappear.

Approach to Handling Tantrums 2:
If the child demands something while at the supermarket, parents must firmly refuse to comply. When the child throws a tantrum right there, parents need to casually walk away, of course, keeping an eye on the child but without letting them see. The child will quickly run after the parents. This incident may happen a few more times, but eventually, the child will learn from the experience and reduce their demands.

Approach to Handling Tantrums 3:
When the child is eating, make sure they self-feed. By 2.5 years old, children can self-feed well. If the child eats slowly, set a timer and ask them to finish in 30 minutes. If they haven't finished after that time, parents must firmly take the plate away. Absolutely no snacks allowed after such a penalty meal; this ensures the child feels hungry until the next meal. Implementing this for a week, parents will have a super well-behaved and fast-eating child.

When the whole family is getting ready to go out and the child throws a tantrum, parents just need to pretend to quickly tidy up things to go out and leave the house swiftly. Parents can rest assured; the child will rush out after them, still in a fuss but only for a few times before this behavior diminishes. This phenomenon of tantrums occurs frequently, and parents only need to apply this trick to achieve success.
Approach to Handling Tantrums 5:
When the child is being stubborn and disobedient, parents can offer choices. The child will have to choose between two options. While declaring the options, parents mention the consequences of each choice, providing the child with information to make a decision. For example: One option is for the child to eat well, and afterward, the parent will read a story. The other option is if the child eats slowly, they will sit in the “Naughty Chair” or “Face the Wall.” The child will choose the option with fewer consequences. No need to push or hurry; the child will complete tasks quickly and neatly. Another method for handling stubbornness is counting. Declare to the child that if the count reaches a certain number and the task is not done, there will be consequences. Parents will see the child becoming more alert immediately. Dealing with tantrum-prone children is not difficult; you just need to know how to handle it to minimize such situations.
