Tantrums in children


Tantrums  in children: 
A new study reveals that they are happening at exactly the right form

Most children aged 1 to 4 years at least once a tantrum, screaming loud and crying neutješnog, when it seems that no one method is not helping to calm and remain helpless parents look into that little body torn by inner anger and irrational negativity.


Tantrums tantrums or, until recently, were the subject of scientific study, but the latest to say they happen at exactly the right form.
Beneath all the screaming, kicking and crying, there is a phenomenon that is very suitable for scientific study. It seems that tantrums have a pattern and rhythm within itself, or rather a "scenario" in which they occur. Once they understand, they say, this pattern can help parents, educators, and even those who work with children, to more effectively respond to tantrums. In addition, deciphering the pattern by which the tantrums occur, clinical specialists will be able to better distinguish between those that tantrums are a normal part of child development, from those who are the early signs of a disturbance.

The key explanation tantrums lies in the detailed analysis of the sounds of kids "products" during an angry outburst. In this new study, published in the journal Emotion, scientists explain and reveal that different sounds or so. vocalizing at times amplified and men turn at exactly the right pace during the tantrum.

"We have a quantitative theory of tantrums related to the highest quality so far, and even in the history of humankind," said study co-author Michael Potegal from the University of Minnesota and his colleague James A. Green added that their first challenge was to collect the required number of sounds themselves during the toddler tantrum. For the purposes of collecting sounds invented a special vest that kids are wearing, and that in itself was a high-quality wireless microphone. Wireless microphone was connected to the Recording Service. Over time, the researchers have collected more than a hundred recordings of sounds that children are "produced" during tantrums and in high quality.

This was followed by a second phase of research - analysis of sounds. What they discovered is that different sounds during tantrums have very different audio tags. When they put that label in a graph, the researchers otrkili to certain sounds appear and disappear at a certain pattern. For example, the sounds of shouting and screaming usually go together. With these sounds often and hitting the legs or arms. Furthermore, throwing things, pulling and pushing objects and people also have occurred at the same time, and there is also a combined stage crying, whining, throwing on the floor and seeking comfort.





An earlier study suggested that the tantrum begins with anger (yelling and screaming), and ends in sadness (crying and whining), but this is a new show that anger and sadness is deeply interwoven throughout the episodes tantrums.
In other words, the tantrums have two stages that are believed to now, but the anger and sadness simultano.Dr event. Green et al. Potegal found that the sounds of grief occur throughout a tantrum and break them short and sharp sounds of shouting and screaming and sounds of anger.

A new discovery that tantrums have a rhythm can help parents determine more precisely the moment to intervene and give them some control osjaćaj.

The trick is to try tantrum as soon come to an end, he says. Potegal, and the way to help a child to overcome as soon as possible feelings of anger and rage. When a child travel the sense of anger, there is only sadness and grief occurs when a child needs comforting. The fastest way to overcome anger there, but researchers advise parents screaming and yelling over to do nothing. It's difficult because it's hard to watch a child hitting, pushing, screaming, crying, choking and not know what to do with negative feelings in you, but you should just wait for all out of me. The feeling of anger is the trap that you should not fall for it. We should not ask questions, additional spray anger or yell, threaten, make fun and joke at the expense of the child's feelings, or too fine to be rude ... All this can only extend the period of anger.

Children in difficult situations of anger and rage to process information, to answer parent's questions or requests, or can not deal with it further, and the moments of anger prolong and intensify. The child feels more cornered.

It is best accessed by the child when the anger turn into sorrow, and weeping and crying. Moreover, the child will actually yearn for your comfort. When it is completely quiet, you can try and talk about everything that happened.
