Tactics For Tackling A Toddler's Temper Tantrum
Even the best behaved toddler has an occasional temper tantrum. A tantrum can range from whining and crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, and breath holding. They're equally common in boys and girls and usually occur from age 1 to age 3. Some children may experience regular tantrums, whereas for other children, tantrums may be rare. Some kids are more prone to throwing a temper tantrum than others.
Toddlers are trying to master the world and when they aren't able to accomplish a task, they often use one of the only tools at their disposal for venting frustration - a tantrum. There are several basic causes of tantrums that are familiar to parents everywhere: The child is seeking attention or is tired, hungry, or uncomfortable. In addition, tantrums are often the result of children's frustration with the world. Frustration is an unavoidable part of kids' lives as they learn how people, objects, and their own bodies work.
Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when children are acquiring language. Toddlers generally understand more than they can express. As language skills improve, tantrums tend to decrease.
Keep off-limits objects out of sight and out of reach, which will make struggles less likely to develop over them. Distract your child. Take advantage of your little one's short attention span by offering a replacement for the coveted object or beginning a new activity to replace the frustrating or forbidden one. And choose your battles: consider the request carefully when your child wants something. Is it outrageous? Maybe it isn't. Accommodate when possible to avoid an outburst.
Make sure your child isn't acting up simply because he or she isn't getting enough attention. To a child, negative attention (a parent's response to a tantrum) is better than no attention at all. Try to establish a habit of catching your child being good ("time in"), which means rewarding your little one with attention and praise for positive behavior. This will teach them that acting appropriately makes mommy and daddy happy and proud, and they'll be anxious to do it again and again.

Parents and guardians recognize the importance of monitoring their child's eating habits, extracurricular activities and Internet usage. Yet many are still not taking all of the necessary steps to help protect their children.
A recent survey found that, despite several child abduction cases in the national headlines over the past few years, one of the most important child identification tips is often overlooked.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) says that having a good-quality current photo of the missing child is essential to assist law enforcement in the critical first hours of investigation after a child is reported missing. However, according to a recent survey conducted by Duracell and NCMEC, only 46 percent of parents or guardians believe that having a recent photo of a child for emergency purposes is important. Additionally, only 49 percent of parents who have an emergency photo of their child update it every six months-the time frame recommended by experts.
"Having an updated photo is essential should your child ever go missing," said Nancy A. McBride, National Safety Director of NCMEC. "Parents and guardians also need to continue to make child safety a priority by ensuring their children are properly supervised, knowing the adults who have access to their children and practicing basic safety skills with their family regularly."
A common myth is that it is less important to discuss general safety information with older children because "they know better." According to NCMEC, children 11 to 17 years of age are at an equal or greater risk than younger children. Older children may appear to be very self-confident, but may engage in risky behavior because they do not understand the consequences of their actions. When parents give their older children more freedom, they should make sure they understand the important safety rules.
