Stop 5 Year Old’s Tantrums
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.
