(HealthDay News) - When some young children become frustrated, they throw temper tantrums. To help a child learn to deal with his or her emotions in a healthier way, follow these suggestions from the Nemours Foundation:
Help your child express what he,s feeling and why. Have a conversation with him, instead of an argument. Praise your child for talking calmly about what,s making him angry.
Encourage your child to walk away from a situation when he is angry, and allow him to spend some time alone to calm down.
Give your child other methods of expressing his anger - let him write or draw what he is feeling.
Have your child perform another activity that can help take his mind off of what,s made him angry. Have him run around outside, dance around the bedroom, or do a few cartwheels.
