[quote=Anonymous]I work with ND kids. In a quiet moment, after a tantrum has passed, sometimes we talk about relationships. I mention that I like doing fun things together, but it’s hard to get motivated to plan fun things when the reaction I get is whining or tantrums. I also mention the reciprocal nature of human relationships: People want to help people who have been helpful to them in the past. In parallel to this, I teach coping strategies for feeling overwhelmed/anxious/irritable. We find a type of break or distraction that the child likes (a simple physical exercise, watching a sand timer, mindfulness activities, etc.) and remind the child to try that strategy when they feel they can’t handle themselves.
