Dealing with Tantrums
Tantrums, meltdowns, and hissy fits can be a nightmare for parents. In this episode of The Lab, Daddy Clay and Daddy Brad tackle this important child behavior topic. Since we’re all about fairness here at DadLabs, we’ll first show kids some techniques for throwing a temper tantrum and getting the most of their meltdown, including the best locations for their hissy fit. We also speak with early parenting coach, Carrie Contey, PhD. to learn why temper tantrums happen, how child development factors into it, and what mom and dad can do to deal with them. The dads also weigh in with their thoughts and reveal what exactly they’re thinking when they see other parent’s children throwing a tantrum. DadLabs Ep. 563 is brought to you by BabyBjorn.

Thanks for watching and we appreciate the specific feedback. The “tantrum-sitter” is a great idea. Having both parents present at a typically tantrum-inducing location might be a good idea for this reason.

You handled that topic in great form! I help parents deal with such issues everyday. Your “chill out” attitude had me laughing. Great advice. They only info I’d add; if tantrums occure every trip to the store, etc…, hire a baby sitter and make sure the child understands why they won’t be attending the event. Other option; bring sitter- tantrum then equals removeal from area. NOT held by sitter! Car seat or other un-fun area.
