Generally kids tend to be ill behaved when they do not get things as and when they want or if you are trying to discipline them. In this scenario they shout at parents or become adamant to release their anger.

If you feel that all these tantrums are temporary, then ignoring such actions is the best way to deal with. Or else if you try to pamper them and negotiate more on this they will be more reluctant. However, ignoring them will lead the kids to behave more aggressively to gain attention. In these circumstances you need to handle the situation more patiently…

At times, kids will beat and bite other kids and elders for that matter; if so, you have to understand that, child is trying to vent out his/ her anger and frustration; this is the time for parents to sit and talk with your kid and convince him/ her and extend your support to them to share their emotions with you. If you generate positive vibes, that helps the child to come out of the shell and think positively.

Anger management is another great technique that helps people to maintain harmonious relationship with others. Parents should remain as role models for kids and teach them on how to control their irritation.

Above all, communication is the best key to solve any kind of problems that arise among kids. Listening to them patiently is also another factor, which helps children to develop interest in sharing their feelings with parents.
