Managing anger
how to deal with tantrums?
Children will develop a lot more coping and

communication skills between the ages of 1 and 3. This
may help alleviate some anger triggers.
By the age of 4, most children are more equipped to

share, express their emotions, and do more with their fine
motor and gross motor skills.
While we can’t speed up the aging clock, there are several

strategies we can use to help toddler manage and reduce
the frequency of tantrums.

important note
It’s also important to resist the urge to discipline
angry toddler/child. This can cause child to increase
aggressive behavior and could create more
frustration.
Child’s tantrums are one of the only ways they can

express their emotions at this developmental stage.
Allowing child to express their feelings will help
them understand their emotions better and regulate
them more appropriately as they age.

remember....
Don’t expect child to be happy all of
the time.
Like all people, toddlers have a range
of emotions. Talk to the child about
how they’re feeling and help them
understand their many different
emotions.
When to seek help?
Anger in toddlers is expected and likely not a
cause for concern if it occurs for short amounts of
time, even if they occur daily.
Updating parents everyday is very important. Be open and clear while
communicating with parents.
Guide parents talking to child’s doctor if the tantrums are more frequent, last for
longer stretches of time, or occur out of nowhere. Parents may also want to talk
to a pediatrician if the tantrums are overly physical or put other children/people,
including child himself, in danger.
Doctor may recommend to track child’s angry outbursts or tantrums to help
determine the underlying cause of them. They may also discuss different tactics
you can use to calm them down.
In some cases, the doctor may refer to a child development specialist or a mental
health professional to help address child’s tantrums if they’re more frequent or
severe than what’s typical.
Keep in mind that seeking professional help and intervening early may help child
better manage anger over time. This can help child at school, at home, and in
other environments in the long term.
