The Reason for the Storm
There are definite patterns to human behavior and after a while the same questions begin to emerge. I was recently asked again on how to best control a young child in the process of a temper tantrum.
You don’t control a child or anyone else during an outburst of emotional frustration. In fact, you can’t even communicate with them.
This person is imbalanced with anger and confusion and pushing or pulling them will accomplish little and most likely upset them even more.
The first and most important step is to calm the child down and establish a slow easy pace of thought and talk. Reassure the child that you have their best intentions in mind and then slowly find out what they really want.
Most of the time the entire situation was simply aimed at getting someone to pay attention to a need or desire the child had at that moment.
- Ask them questions about what they want.
- Ask them why they want it.
They are usually angry because they cannot identify or understand a reason WHY they cannot have what they want.
Reason with them when you know they cannot or will not get what they want. Children often want without reason. This is because they have yet to develop reasoning skills. Reason for them and explain why they cannot get what they want.
Once they understand and can identify the reasoning they often go on with life and abandon the angry attitude.
