How should I respond to my child's tantrums?

It's important to stay calm and acknowledge your child's feelings. Can you tell me more about the situation?

They often throw tantrums when they don't get their way, especially at the store.

In those moments, try to validate their feelings but also set clear boundaries. Have you tried offering choices?

No, I haven't. What kind of choices should I offer?

You could offer two options, like choosing between two snacks or deciding which toy to play with. This gives them a sense of control.

That sounds helpful! What if they still throw a tantrum?

If they do, remain calm and consistent. Sometimes, just giving them space to express their emotions can help.
