MELT DOWN (How to handle toddler's tantrums?)

May nabasa ako, pag nasa public place dalhin mo raw sila sa madilim at tahimik na space. Kasi baka emotionally overwhelmed sila. What I do pag nasa bahay, i offer hug, pag declined okay, di ipipilit, hinahayaan ko umiyak, to let her process what she feels, pero di yung point na masasaktan sya (lumpasay sa floor (pwedemauntog or what, hurt herself) tapos i tell her kung bakit ganito o ganyan. Nagtatantrums kasi sya pag umaalis tatay nya after lunch, umuuwi for lunch pag babalik na sa work, tantrums malala kasi gusto nya ng more quality time with her father. Paulit ulit at walang sawa na pagexplain kung bakit need umalis at saan pupunta. Most importantly, you have to calm yourself first. Pipitik ka talaga, tayo mismo nao-overwhelm. Pero tayo lang meron sila.

Hi mi, kailangan ikaw muna yung unang kumalma bago kumalma yung anak mo. They can feel kapag naffrustrate ka sa tantrums nila and it will make it worst. Ask your kid why sya upset? If hindi kay ibigay yuny gusto, offer something else. And always remember, minsan lang sila bata
