So what a temper tantrum is usually a, a child's way of saying, I want to do something different.
I want it, it's not fair. The way you did this isn't right.
And so anger in
and of itself, if we were, if we're parents trying
to understand it, why is the child angry?
And, and so I would, I would want to understand, okay,
so we talked about this consequence and now you're angry,
but you're not gonna be able to negotiate
with a child who's throwing a full blown temper tantrum.
Trying to talk with them in that elevated state
is not gonna be very productive.
And so we might try other things.
Look, I want to talk with you, but I can't right now
'cause I know you're really upset at me.
So I'd like you to think about this and then let's come back
and let's talk through
what you're experiencing now you're modeling for a child
how we don't escalate into conflict,
but how we communicate when there is frustration.
And so I think the question about what do we do
with the child in a full body temper tantrum, uh,
the truth is, is I, I want to communicate
with you right now is probably not the best time.
So when you wanna talk about this, you've thought through it
to come to me and I'd love to resolve it.
And, and so we literally just allow them to be there and,
and, and recognize that they're not gonna get attention for
that kind of behavior.
