When kids throw temper tantrums or have meltdowns it can be hard to remain calm. Often, they happen at the worst of times and can make any parent feel upset, embarrassed, or frustrated. More often than not, we react to these melt downs by trying to shut down the situation as fast as possible. However, this type of reaction is often not effective. Although it can be difficult, the key to managing these situations is to not only learn how to manage your own feelings as a parent, but also to teach your children how to manage their own feelings too.
