16 Feb 🥴Does your child throw behavioural tantrums to get their way all the time? 🤔Are you thinking that your child is too young to understand so you give in to their tantrums?
It’s natural for babies and toddlers to go through stages where they may throw tantrums. These behaviours are part of their development and how they express frustration, anger, or the need for attention, especially since they often lack the language skills to express their feelings and desires in other ways. However, consistently allowing toddlers to throw tantrums 
to get their way can have several negative consequences for both the child and the family.
Here are the Top 3 negative consequences of allowing a child to consistently use behavioural tantrums to get their way:
1. If toddlers learn that tantrums are an effective way to get what they want, they may struggle to develop healthy emotional regulation skills. This can lead to difficulties in managing frustration, anger, and disappointment as they grow older.
2. Children who frequently use tantrums as a means to get their way may have trouble forming and maintaining friendships. Peers and adults may find it difficult to interact with a child who resorts to extreme behaviours when upset or not getting what they want.
3. Over-reliance on tantrums can evolve into more serious behavioural issues as children grow. They might exhibit aggressive behaviours, defiance, and oppositional behaviours not only at home but also in school and other social settings. They might have difficulty focusing, following directions, and participating in group activities, which can affect their academic performance.
Often parents feel that if their child has special needs it’s part of their condition to have behavioural tantrums. Reality is, with the right Early Intervention strategies, we are able to help children learn to manage their emotions without tantrums.
