◆ Make your child feel comfortable
Well, jokes can make anyone laugh. And when your little one is sad or not in the mood to talk, make funny faces, tickle them and make jokes until they smile and laugh. Keep trying until they get into the flow and play along!
◆ Let your toddlers choose by themself
These little adults like to be in control and when they get a sense of being their boss, they become happy and satisfied. To ensure your child remains calm throughout your “shopping spree”, involve them in decision making and let them choose with you. This way, not only will they be distracted from buying unnecessary items for them but will keep engaged and comfortable.
◆ Counting Fun
Counting with your little one can be fun and used to calm down the angry man inside them. When your child behaves aggressively, ask them to count backward and do so yourself so they can follow.
◆ Distract your little one
Children usually whine and beg for things that seem unusual to them. If they ask for toys that are for a bigger age group or chocolates, try to distract them from other activities including reading books or playing games. It may take you or a minute to do so, but children are easily distracted by other things that attract them, hence calming them down quickly.
◆ Be a good teacher for your kid
Most kids are known to act all aggressive and angry to get their hands on something that they want. This is why, rather than starting a war with those little people. Stay calm and listen to their demands. If their demand is unnecessary, convey the message nicely and try distracting them.
