Throughout all of the forty-plus years I've been parenting, the most consistent tantrum advice from child rearing experts has been for parents to ignore every tantrum. The theory behind this technique of ignoring tantrums, to my understanding, is that ignoring tantrums prevents their validation. The ignore-the-tantrum parent avoids rewarding a child for tantrums and avoids reinforcing any negative behavior with any attention.
Throughout all of the forty-plus years I've been parenting, the most consistent tantrum advice from child rearing experts has been for parents to ignore every tantrum. The theory behind this technique of ignoring tantrums, to my understanding, is that ignoring tantrums prevents their validation. The ignore-the-tantrum parent avoids rewarding a child for tantrums and avoids reinforcing any negative behavior with any attention. According to such don't-reinforce-negative-behavior thinking, in such situations the underlying assumption is that a child is throwing the tantrum so as to get undeserved attention (which amounts to negative behavior), and if the parent avoids reinforcing such negative behavior, it should cease to occur, go away, and stop. Despite this theory behind ignoring tantrums, throughout the modern history of parenting advice, most experts who have recommended using this technique haven't purported that it prevents tantrums or stops them in progress. Just a few short decades ago, experts still weren't putting the word prevention in the same sentence along with the word tantrum. Their advice was given only to teach parents the best ways to deal with and manage the tantrums, much the same as is the case today. However, current parenting experts now inform parents on how to prevent a portion of the temper tantrums by handling the child's tantrum triggers, such as tiredness, frustration, and hunger. Or in other words, these parenting advisors teach parents to prevent the tiredness, frustration, and hunger in their children. They don't actually teach parents how to prevent tantrums in their children's normal living, which occasionally includes hunger, frustration, and tiredness. My particular method of temper tantrum prevention and elimination is greatly different from other people's methods. I help parents learn how to respond to their babies and children in a way that totally makes it unnecessary to be watchful for temper tantrum triggers (which are actually anger triggers). The typical childhood and infant frustrations stop triggering temper tantrums. In spite of this basic theory behind the ignoring-tantrums technique, throughout modern history of parenting advice, most experts who've recommended using the technique haven't claimed that it will prevent tantrums or stop them in progress. I show parents how to one hundred percent eliminate tantrums from their child's behaviors so that there are no more temper tantrums in progress to have to manage, handle, stop, or deal with. I also show parents how to consistently react to a newborn infant in such a way that the child never develops a tantrum-throwing or escalated anger pattern. I help parents gain these skills with clarity and with many fun examples in hopes they will be able to learn them easily and quickly. |
