My friend's 5 year old daughter has violent temper tantrums - What should she do?

Question

The little girl hits, bites, screams, jumps - whether she's being ignored or not. What would you suggest. My heart goes out to this mother - she loves her daughter dearly.

Answer 1

I think your friend needs to wait until the next time her daughter throws a temper tantrum and tear he little rear up.  If it is in public she doesn't need to take her to the bathroom she should spank her right where she's at.  She should also make sure and tell her why she's spanking her and let her know that throwing fits is unacceptable and won't be tolerated.  ok I know that alot of people today don't believe in spanking their children and personally I feel like that is where alot of the behavioral problems come from.  Every child is different and will respond differently to discpline techniques that is why a one size fits all solution won't work.  That being said most kids will respond to a spanking. When I say respond I mean they will begin to learn to think twice before they act because they'll know that there are consequences for their actions.  Also, if you have never discplined your child and they are now out of control there comes a point and time that they are out of your reach.

Answer 2

does she discipline the little one? if not that is part of the problem.

second if she is and nuthing seems to work, just keep puttin gher in timeout for 6 mins.

third if she really cant handle it, try giving her suggestions.

four ask her to pick up a book from the books tore about POSITIVE DISCIPLINE.

those are sum suggestions that could help, but never ignore the child that yes would work but would prolly make it worse.
