Temper tantrums, at their worst, are loud, physical, and just outright insane. There are countless ways of working through a tantrum and the best way is to never let one start. That being said, this article will provide effective ways of dealing with a full blown tantrum.

The first step to dealing with a tantrum, right in the middle of it, is to find a way to change the emotional state of your child. A temper tantrum is an extreme emotional response and no amount of words - as sound as they may be - is going to get through to your child. Don't try and reason with them. You need to change that emotional state before logic will even begin to resonate with your child.

A great way of changing the emotional state of anyone (this works for the adult as well as the child) is to change your body posture. For you - take a deep breathe, pull your shoulders back, even smile - regardless of how you feel, it will change your emotional state.

For the child, give them a reason to do something different with their body. Ask them to look up at the ceiling. Have them look at the clouds. Ask them a silly and completely unrelated question. Involve them in a really strange game of imagination - maybe it is aliens invading or a pretend tea party with the items you have on hand. Just something out of the norm.

Well, interruption is the start. Now just keep them distracted with other things - stories, responsibilities, whatever. Just keep the topic away from what set the whole thing off in the first place. They need some time to move on.
