[quote=Anonymous]My daughter went through really awful tantrums around age 4 as she began to become more intellectually aware of her fears and anxieties and she had no tools to cope with the stress she was feeling. She was having a tantrum pretty much every morning for months. What helped: - high protein snack before bed to balance blood sugar + immediate food upon waking. I kept crackers by my bed for a while and she knew to come eat them first thing! - mindset. I looked at each tantrum as a necessary part of her developmentally learning to manage her emotions. With that mindset I would ride it out by sitting with her in her room and offering deep breaths and talking it out when she was ready - Janet Lansbury techniques as well. Read No Bad Kids She got through this phase and is a lovely almost 6 yo who has particularly good self regulation skills now BECAUSE we had so many opportunities to practice those strategies!
