Hysterics.

Almost all children between the ages of one to three years experience several hysterical attacks. The child is already aware of his desires and personality. When something is not allowed to him, he gets angry. But do not attack directly the one who did not allow. Probably, adults seem to him too big and strong. In addition, he has not yet developed combat instincts.

When the rage in him is too strong, he can not think of anything better than to throw himself on the floor. He falls with a cry, banging on the floor with his hands, feet or even his head.

One such attack does not mean anything. The child still has to refuse something. But if the seizures occur frequently, several times a day, perhaps the child is overtaxed or has some kind of chronic physical illness. Frequent tantrums usually mean that the mother has not learned to lead the child tactfully. There are several questions. Is the child playing enough out of the house, where the mother can not follow him and strictly control? Does he have any items that he can drag and push, and on which you can climb? Does he have toys and other items to play at home, and is the house organized so that his mother does not have to constantly forbid something to him? Maybe the mother, unaware of this, causes his stubbornness when he tells him to come and put on his shirt, instead of giving it to him without any comment, or if he wants to go to the toilet instead of just taking him there? When she interrupts his game to take him to the yard or to dinner, does she suddenly and unconditionally, or pre-distract something pleasant? When he sees that the storm is approaching, is it coming gloomily toward her or distracting the child with something?

You can not warn all attacks of hysterics. It would be unnatural if the mother had so much patience and tact. When the storm breaks, you try not to react very much to it and wait until the end. You should never give up and allow the child to do it in his own way: otherwise he will begin to roll up such hysterics purposely and for any reason. Do not argue with him, because he is not in the mood to admit his wrong. If you get angry, it will only make him more stubborn. Give him the opportunity to surrender with dignity. One child calms down more quickly when the mother leaves and is quietly engaged in their own affairs, as if nothing happened. Another, more stubborn and persistent, will scream for an hour if the mother does not make any kind of friendly gesture. She can offer some interesting occupation and hug him to show that she has reconciled with him and the storm has passed.

Especially unpleasant when a child rolls hysterics on the street. Take it in your arms - with a smile, if you are able. Take it to some quiet place where you can be alone with him.

Attacks, when the child starts to choke, turns blue and even for a moment loses consciousness, can be the same expression of anger and stubbornness as hysterics. They frighten the mother, but she must try and treat them sensibly so that the child consciously does not use such a tool more often.
