Useful recommendations for parents

Did you know that a child ́s tantrum is an emotional kidnapping? The amygdala in the brain is an almond-shaped structure that is closely related to stress and anxiety processes. When the amygdala is activated (generally in situations of fear or anger), we enter an emotional hijacking . This means that our emotions take control of what happens. The most important thing is to do NOTHING, as it is essential to remain calm to model calm and peace . So breathe in and take control of your emotions.

• Don't take it personally
• Remember that the child is not doing anything to you, he is going through a bad time.
• Don't take it personally. It is a strong feeling of lack of control.
• Get up close and level with him, try to make eye contact. Body language is essential.
• Do not judge the emotion, do not ask for explanations, do not ask for it to calm down.
• Help your child or student to name the emotion and put words to what they are experiencing.
• Become his emotional translator (narrating what the child is going through).
• Show empathy and respect. That creates a wonderful calming effect. When the brain perceives empathy the vagus nerve helps to relax the body.
• Offer various options such as: a hug, drink water, breathe, blow bubbles or simply be close and emotionally available.
• Support co-regulation and emotional self-regulation.
• Wait for the child to get all his emotional overflow (accompanying in a respectful way), our body language is essential.
• Become an emotional translator, describe what is happening, naming the emotion.
• Empathize, connect and validate. Putting yourself in the child's shoes and using connecting phrases.
• Model calm, with your voice, body language and closeness.
• Remember that tantrums are not controlled, accompanied or managed.
