To be able to avoid tantrums before they start our kids need:
– awareness of their emotions
– the ability to recognise the need underneath the emotion
– trust that they have a good chance of being able to get the need met
– the capacity to mourn the times when they can’t get the need met.
In this video I talk you through how each of these skills together helps your child avoid tantrums and some tips to get you started.
