Tantrums?? Exhaustion?? Why are kids in bad mood??
It was 7 in the evening when my son entered the house. His clothes were dusty, sweat trickling down, hair scattered. He was excited and started telling me about his new friends, the games he played while I was listening to him doing my daily chores. Angrily with tears filled up to the brim he snapped at me saying,"You are not at all interested to hear what I want to tell you". "I am not important for you." I sensed arguing with him or defending was of no use. He had been playing outside since a very long time. He was tired to the bones and was very hungry too. Sweat and dust made him more irritable. I wanted him to have a wash and change his dress but he was not in a condition to listen to any thing but to keep howling, whining and complaining.
As mothers we have to deal with emotional imbalance of our kids.
Knowing what is going on and helping him understand and cope up with such emotions is the key. Not every outburst is a tantrum or is manipulative.
Exhaustion due to physical or mental workout, anxiety, feeling insecured, hunger can also be the reason.
Firstly as a mother we should understand and try to be calm and control our emotions and not get perturbed by our kid's outburst.
Try to know what exactly is the cause of trouble.
Water works wonders
If they are feeling discomfort due to sweat, dirt try to take him to the washroom. . Just splashing some water on the face will refresh him and help him cool down.
Make him change his clothes or if its not possible at least open the buttons, loosen the belts.
If he is too hungry give him some juice which will increase depleted energy level. Allow him to come back to normal and then give him food.
Too much clutter around, or too many toys, or even too much input from around him in various forms can also not let him concentrate and may get carried away.If you find that your child is in such a condition, try to clean up the place, if there is loud sound, reduce the volume, and let him be on his own for some time.
Your too much involvement, over expectations, not giving him the freedom of choice may also cause distress.
If he is not in a condition to understand or listen to anything, try to change the topic or location.
If you sense that he is drained out emotionally with negative feelings, assure him your presence, Speak good about him reminding him his achievements, try to build up his losing confidence.
Let him know that you too get irritated, tired, and have the same feelings.
Sometimes tantrums can also be the warning bells of kids feeling sick.
Every situation is ought to be different. Theses are just few points which can come handy during your child's meltdown.
And yes, your Love, Presence, Attention should do miracles because that is what most of the time our kids are craving for and we do not understand sometimes and give them everything else other than this. In turn we fail and lose our emotional balance making the situation worse. During such time give yourself some time and get composed before trying to deal with them.
