Toddlers throw temper tantrums from time to time and some are really good at it. If you happen to have the nack for parenting you will be able to stop a temper tantrum almost as soon as it has started. Some parents attempt to stop the temper tantrum by giving in to anything that their child wants. However it is best to let the temper tantrum go through with the steps that it needs to take.

When a child is between the ages of two to five years old temper tantrums will start. Before you can stop the tantrums you need to know why they start. First and foremost you should keep in mind that your toddler might be hungry, toddlers eat less and more frequently then an adult. You need to show by modeling that temper tantrums are not productive. Also remember that when your toddler has many different options this allows them to feel as though they are in control preventing any temper tantrums.

If a temper tantrum happens for no good reason at all then it is a good idea to ignore your child as much as you can, be sure that they are not hurting themselves or anybody around them. You may feel like a bad parent but this will make the child feel that they are not being productive.

If you keep this up the temper tantrums will soon get shorter every time until eventually they will stop completely. If you react to the temper tantrum by giving in every time your toddler will feel as though this is what they need to do to get what they want. You need to be the boss, not your child.

Over time your child's temper tantrums should stop. If not you and your child should see a doctor about your child's behavior. There might be some medical reason why your child is acting this way.
