How do i stop my 4 year old from throughing him self on the ground?

Question

son throughs himself on the ground every time we tell him no

Answer 1

well you have to make sure that you tell him that is naughty and never give in when he dose it- either ignore it by saying somthing like "oh i cant find him, because i only see and hear good boys"  or get him off of the floor and send him in a time out to his room.

also make sure that when you tell him "no" and he finally responds nicely- treat him, so that he knows he did somtheing good.

i've seen this work after some time in many occsions and also have heard it works really well i truly hope for best the best of luck to you and you wife/husband :)

Answer 2

Stop giving attention to the tantrum.  Thats what it is.  You tell him no, he gets mad, throws a tantrum and either you give in or you "negotiate" with him.  When he throws a tantrum walk away.

Answer 3

At home - walk away and ignore. In public - pick him up and go about your business irrespective of  tantrum.Don't explain over and over, three times max should be enough and then say- I know you understand me, I will not explain again!.

Be strong and show him that this kind of behavior does not work with you!.

Come on girl!, you can do this! No need to hit or shout, a few choice words in his shell like and physical removal if need be - you can be stronger than him. In time he will get the message and find other ways to wind you up!

Answer 4

Act like he's not even there when he does it. He's getting something from it and that's why he keeps doing it.

Answer 5

what you can do is take him to the doctor and have the doctor explain to him how he could possiby hurt himself from doing this. Doctors usually scare smaller kids so he may be tempted to listen to an adult with more of a serious demeanor. Or you can take him to a therapist, he is probably building up to much anger at once.

Answer 6

Throw yourself on the floor as well, he would look at you like what are you doing and maybe realize "Hey is that what I look like" I better stop or just ignore him and go to the other room he will look for you or distract him with something. Like hold him and walk up to the door or window and look out and tell him how pretty it is outside or look at whatever catches your eye and just talk about it. Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

The ignoring part tends to work the best. The more you react the more they love it. My oldest tried it twice, once at home and once at the mall. .  At home I ignored him and just said to him that big boys didn't do that and I guess he wasn't a big boy and that I was very ashamed. He said he was sorry and that he wanted to be a big boy.

At the mall I ignored him and said fine you stay there I am leaving and I walked away. Well he got himself up and to my side pretty quick.

Answer 8

Pretend you don't even notice, but at once give positive attention to sensible behavior.

Answer 9

Ignore him. My daughter went through that stage as well. I would just ignore her. Finally when she was done, she would get up and say she had a headache, probably from crying so much, and all I would say was" was it  worth it"? I  never paid attention to it and finally she stopped.

Answer 10

ignore him and it will get old. When you make a big fuss over it, he is "thriving" on it. Just simply walk away.
