The child's psyche is quite flexible and subject to negative influences from the outside. Loving parents strive to rid their child of any troubles and external pressure. The child quickly understands this and begins to throw tantrums for any reason. How to respond to the baby's behavior in such cases?
The main signs of hysteria in a child
It is necessary to distinguish between different types of child behavior. On the one hand, you may witness typical manipulation, which is accompanied by loud crying, screaming and unnatural tears. On the other hand, your child probably really needs support and understanding. Among the main signals of hysteria, psychologists distinguish the following:
- regularity;
- pronounced anger;
- the desire to achieve your goal by any means;
- monitoring the reaction of parents;
- unwillingness to explain the reasons for this behavior;
- a sharp change in mood.
Calm and only calm
Seeing that the child begins to throw a tantrum, you need to be patient. This does not depend on age, since the mechanism of tantrums is always almost the same. Make it clear to your child that you will not react to screaming and crying until the baby calms down. It is also important to show your behavior that in case of hysteria, a positive result will not come. The best option is to leave the child alone and wait a while. As a result, your child will see that it will not be possible to achieve what he wants in this way in the future. These will be the first steps towards realizing that parents will not indulge any whims.
Serious talk
If the child has calmed down, then try to talk to him seriously. Try to understand the reasons for this behavior and explain that you will not tolerate this behavior anymore. The authority of the parents in this case must be unshakable for the child. Any deviation to the side can lead to new tantrums with even greater emotional intensity. Offer your child a different scenario. For example, write down together on a piece of paper the results you can get without crying. The regularity of this kind of ritual will help the baby understand that hysteria is not the most effective way to communicate with parents.
