What should I do during a tantrum ?

Keep you cool do not respond to a tantrum and also don't complicate the problem with your own frustration or anger. Learn to calm down your child so you need too.
    Tantrum should be handle in different ways depending on why your child is upset. Sometimes, you may need to provide comfort. If your child is tired or hungry, it's time for a nap or a snack. Other times, its best to ignore an outburst or distract your child with a new activity. 
    Ignoring is usually most effective for behaviors like whining, crying when nothing is physically wrong or hurting tantrums.

    If a tantrum is happening to get attention from parents, one of the best ways to reduce this behavior  is to ignore it. If a tantrum happens after your child is refused something, stay calm and don't give a lot of explanations for why your child can't have what he wants. Move on to another activity with your child.

    If a tantrum happens after your child is told to do something she does not want to do, it's best to ignore the tantrum. But be sure that you follow through on having your child complete the task after she is calm .
 
    Kids who are in danger of hurting themselves or others during a tantrum should be taken to a quiet, safe place to calm down. This also applies to tantrum in public places.

    If a safety issue is involved and a toddler repeats the forbidden behavior after begin told to stop, use a time-out or hold the child firmly for several minutes. Be consistent. Don't give in on safety issues.

  1. Remain calm
  2. Acknowledge that you understand what your toddler wants
  3. Ignore the bad behaviour
  4. Encourage your child to talk to you when they have calmed down
  5. Don't give in
  6. Be consistent

These are the key point to handle tantrum.
