What to Do with 5 Year Olds Tantrum

5 year olds should not be having temper tantrums. And when they do, they are not to be tolerated. At the same time, they do not necessarily have to be punished. Too often, punishment is the exact opposite of what your child needs. They may need a hug, or word of encouragement, or help in learning how to appropriately deal in control their strong feelings.

Set aside a place in your house for your child to go when they are having a hard time controlling their emotions. You can call this a calm couch or a call seat. Whatever you call it, use it as a place to train your child on how to regulate his own emotions.

Find Out What Is Bothering Your Child

At the age of five, tantrums are not typical. The normal reasons of separation anxiety, frustration, and problems communicating, are not as likely anymore. That means, you need to invest and find what is causing your child to have such strong emotional responses.

Believe It Or Not – Allergies Can Cause Tantrums

You need to start keeping a journal of all of your childs tantrums. Whenever they have a tantrum, write down what they had eaten what they’ve had to drink, if they’ve been around pets, and anything else you can remember. The goal is to gather enough information to find a common cause.

Inspect the Data

Now that you have gathered the data you need to look into the data. A number of studies have been done to show that allergies and responses to animals, foods, and plans can create a chemical response that will bring about tantrums and your child.
