STUDENT'S  OR 

YOUR CHILD'S

TANTRUMS

You have a student in your classroom or a child of your own who has a tendency to throw tantrums which you are having trouble controlling.  Be aware that they aren't directed at you but they have a deeper meaning to your child.  The way you are interpreting them might not be what your student or child is intending them to come across to you to fully understand what is bothering them.    When your student or child is NOT having a tantrum and you can sensibly have a discussion with them try to have them relate to you what is bothering them when they do have a tantrum.  By taking the time to have a discussion like this you might be better equipped to deal with stopping a tantrum from even happening.
