How to Recognise Two Stages to a Tantrum
By Yvette Vignando – 14th December 2011
New research by Professor James Green and colleagues at the University of Connecticut’s Department of Psychology finds that, based on sound recordings of children’s tantrums, there are two stages to a tantrum. Knowing how to react in these two stages may help parents deal effectively with a toddler’s tantrum. Yvette Vignando shared the details on The Morning Show on Channel 7.
This is the first research done using recordings instead of parent reports – the recordings showed two distinct phases of anger and then sadness. What can parents do with this knowledge?
