Sooner or later, parents face such a phenomenon as child hysteria. And often parents do not know how to stop it. Often children's hysterics occur in crowded places and parents have to "blush". The question arises, what to do if there is hysteria in young children and how to stop them.
How hysteria develops in babies
The strongest emotional outburst that appears in the form of anger, irritation, aggression, despair is a child's hysterics. In the event of hysteria, a small child begins to bend back, cry and shout loudly. With this phenomenon in the baby, the functions of motor skills are knocked down, he can hit any objects and not feel pain. In some cases with uncontrolled rage, the child may experience: lack of air (the baby suffers air), involuntary convulsions, and sometimes a brief syncope. After such a burst of energy, the nervous system needs rest. After the end of the attack, the child either falls asleep or falls into a stupor.
What is the cause of such states
According to psychologists, tantrums in children under one year are very rare and are caused mainly by various diseases. Hysterics are normal in children after a one-year-old age. The fact is that from year one the baby is already beginning to realize its importance. Hysteria at this age is usually a reaction, a failure, which the kid did not expect. And cry in this case, the child begins not specifically, but from resentment. At the same time, parents, out of pity for their children, try to calm him and satisfy his demands in any way. But in the mind of the crumb, it is already postponed that if you cry and cry, you can achieve it.
Accustomed to the fact that with the help of such protests it is possible to achieve its goal, the child begins to arrange such actions with any refusal by his parents. Most often hysterics occur in children under 4 years, since after this age the baby already realizes that punishment will follow. Especially such actions the kid loves to arrange in crowded places, where the parents, so as not to disgrace, necessarily buy this or that toy, candy, etc. Or there are those people who will regret a small "cunning", reproaching parents and parents will fulfill the demand. Over time, such actions for the child become the norm.
Also, other factors can provoke hysterics in young children. For example, any disease, especially taking place with temperature, fatigue, failure in the regime of the baby. And also a long stay in crowded places, long rest, where much was allowed, hunger and thirst. In addition, various mental disorders can provoke an emotional outburst. In any case, if your child rolls up hysterics very often - contact a specialist.
How to deal with such emotional outbursts
The most important thing with which you need to start a "fight" with hysterics is prevention. Before you go to a crowded place, especially shopping, take care of some of the nuances. The kid should be full, put on the season, get enough sleep. Any inconvenience can provoke a tantrum. In addition, do not forget that a quarrel between parents, ignoring the baby can also cause such a condition in the crumbs.
In most cases, the hysterics of the baby cause a refusal to purchase any toys, candy, etc. While the child is still small, it can be influenced by "distractions." For example, "the car went off", "the plane flew", etc. You can also switch the attention of the kid to the game.
If hysterics could not be avoided, it is better not to calm your child. If you mess with him, he will not soon stop this "presentation." The main thing, no matter how painful you are, do not give in to your feelings, it's better not to pay attention. The kid will understand that he has lost and will calm down. If you do this several times, the tantrums of the child will stop. You can not punish a child for his behavior, especially for everyone. As soon as the little one settles down, find out the cause of his discontent. Explain to him that you love him very much. After you learn to ignore your child's hysteria, eventually they will stop, as the kid will understand that this he will not achieve anything.
