Is your child getting angry and irritated often?
Do they throw tantrums?
It is important to handle your child’s anger and irritation in a positive way.
Set the expectation: Parents can choose to talk to the child and explain in clear and simple terms.
Let the child step in your shoes: Parents can develop empathy, understanding and supportive attitude in the child by projecting an experience forward.
Be consistent: There should be no confusion and absolute consistency in expected behavior from the child and associated rewards.
Conscious role modeling: A child is constantly learning ways to act and behave through role-modeling parents, family and everyone around.
Some Handy tips to deal with issues around aggression in children are
Stay calm, apply patience and practice firmness: Be assertive and not aggressive.
Coach through accidental mistakes: Understand personality of the child and prepare the child through coaching at appropriate opportunities.
Time outs: Practice time out where a child is sent to a place without distractions where he is asked to reflect while he is kept away from any engaging environment.
Keep channels of communication open.
Communicate with the child without judging: Correct the child with reason and not because of your position of authority
Teach the child to communicate the frustration: Ask the child what he is feeling.

Hello Ma'am ! Please give your inputs on how to make a 6 year old child control her outbursts. She overreacts to things sometimes without understanding the matter. She just doens't like to accept 'No' as an answer. She wants everything to be according to her. For instance the food we cook, if it's not what she wants , she will not eat no matter what. I live in a joint family and I have to consider everyone's likes and dislikes in mind and everytime it's not possible to fulfill her needs . Her this behaviour is leading to everyday drama and unnecessary stress at home. How can we deal with her this behaviour?
