Could your busy life be the cause of your child’s temper bad temper? When baby has a meltdown or a toddler has a blowup, we often lay the fault on everything. But, could the increasing number of tantrums be much less physiological in origin than we would care to believe? Are we guilty of being more attentive to our children when they are bad than when they are being good?

No doubt that illness can make a baby irritable and ill tempered. We all have had the unpleasant experience of being awakened from a sound sleep by a child screaming from the pain of an earache or some other physical problem. These episodes are completely unrelated to the garden variety temper tantrums that might result from a parent interfering in some delightful activity that might be causing chaos like spreading peanut butter on the wallpaper.

It’s explicable that your child would be unhappy under these circumstances, but what about those times when for no reason the temper crabbiness burst forth for no reason? If there is no illness or unwanted reprimand to blame it on, what could be the cause? Perhaps the root of the problem is found in the behavior of the caretaker or parent in charge rather than some underlying condition on the part of the child.

Modern parents have a lot on their hands. They want a career with the money and accomplishments that comes with it as well as a warm and loving family. Sadly, neither careers nor families can flourish under these neglectful circumstances. Unless the family is nourished and tended there are a number of things that may go awry. Temper tantrums are often a manifestation of a child that is feeling lonely or uncared for. Put quite simply, the child is acting up to get more attention.

I have seen more than one case where a smiling, sunny tempered baby turned into a very angry behavior problem because mom and dad didn’t see the warning signs. A mild mannered baby was taken for granted and virtually ignored. At some point the child began to think that the way to get more attention was to whine. Parents are encouraged by childcare experts to overlook occasional whining so when a low level complaint is not heeded; the volume goes up until the whine becomes a scream or a temper tantrum on a grand scale.

Once things go this far, the fix is not an easy one. It is far easier for children to be given the praise and attention that they long for for being good than to have to deal with temper irritability and learn how to handle them later.

With the advent of so many new modes of entertainment, things like good reading habits seem to be passé. If you want your child to develop this wonderful habit you need to serve it in front of him not as a compulsion but as an entertainment.

You can try the following points to inculcate good reading habits in your children.

• Reading along with them or aloud to them can be another good idea.
• Starting as early as your baby would start recognizing the pictures in the book is another helpful idea.
• There are a lot of baby books available in the market. Choose the one for your baby which is brightly colored, has big, attractive pictures and is easy to hold.
• At this age, choosing books with lesser words and more of pictures is better. Just hand it over to him and let him explore it whichever way he wants to.
• Kids get fascinated by fairytale books which have pop-ups, different textured pictures and flaps to be lifted. .
• Once your child starts pre-school and learns to recognize some words, you can introduce him to books with very short stories written in bold letters and illustrated with pictures.
• To little older children, you can get books which have games that teach numbers, alphabets, dates, knowing the clock.
• Remember that all such things should be very colorful and illustrated with a lot of diagrams and pictures to keep your child’s interest.
• Once your child begins to read properly, you can start taking him to the library or the bookstore.
• Let him decide what level of books is he comfortable in reading alone. You can also make him read aloud to his younger sibling.
• If you feel that your child gets easily bored of his books you can make out games out of the book, like enacting the title, narrating an incidence of the story and finding the related picture etc.
• If you child wants to go back to his old books there’s no harm in it. Remember, even some grown ups love reading their childhood comic books.
