Step 1: Distract the child

Distract the child from whatever's causing the frustration. Draw the child's attention to anything else – a toy, a book, or activity.

Step 2: Stay calm

Remain calm and collected. Show the child you have control of the situation.

Step 3: Talk to the child

Discuss the situation with the child. Show them you understand why they are upset.

Step 4: Remove the child

Remove the child from the scene, whether it's a family gathering, a shopping mall, or grocery store. Pick up the child and physically remove them to a different surrounding.

Step 5: Be consistent

Always be consistent with your actions. Never give in to an unruly child, or your child will soon rule your home.
