Tackling Tantrums

After years of treating thousands of children for illnesses including excessive temper tantrums I was stumped when my two year old was having 10 daily. We hired an expert in parenting to come do an in-home evaluation and her insights have helped us enormously. Now we are armed with skills so our younger son, who is soon to turn two, doesn't stand a chance with our seasoned techniques.

Tackle Tantrums with Skilled Parenting:
1. Speak Your Mind- We say "use your words calmly and I will listen". or "Use Your Words"

2. Turn Your Back: Without an audience this often quells the fire within. We simply walk away- no words, just action.

3. Calm the Fury: "1...2....3 Calm yourself and I will help you." If he doesn't it's to #4
4. Quiet Focus Time: We send them to their room to calm themselves down. Once calmed they may come interact again. Next tantrum Repeat. We have gotten where we can just point to their rooms and they know what to do. Again, no words...just action.

We also supplement with Omega-3 fish oil to calm their nervous system 200mg daily. For challenging weeks we give them calming herbal medicine especially formulated for tantrums. It's called "Quiet Calm" and it works very effectively for tantrums, ADD, irritability, teething and sleep disorders. To order your herbal medicine call (208) 938-1277 we can do an Herbal Consult over the phone and drop ship your order throughout the US.
