What would you do if a child was throwing a tantrum but was fine earlier?
3 Answers↳
Depending on the age of the child. Under 3 remove them from the situation until they calm down. Reasoning with a child under 3 normally will not work, they do not have that ability to understand reasoning. Over 3 remove them and after they calm down, then talk to them about this behavior and what you are expecting from them. Do not ever give in and give them what is causing the tantrum. You will lose every time there after. Less

I'd remove them from the situation and let them calm down then I would ask what's wrong. If it's an activity they don't want to do, I would use something that interests them as a motivator to get them to follow rules. If it's a disagreemtn between kids I would try to settle the disagreement in a way that's fair to all kids involved Less

I am also happy that NLG is going to support me as I accrue my supervision hours required for my BCBA requirements. Less
