How to deal with this kind of tantrum?

Even adults get a little cranky after naps because of being tired and groggy. Sleeping is comforting and waking up from that isn’t too wonderful all the time. Tell her that she will be in the comfort of home soon and she doesn’t need to worry about anything. Sometimes it helps to tell young children to cry with their mouths closed. Sometimes it actually works and they stop crying…it’s worth a try. Really, she will grow out of that. However, if she is having tantrums at other times (not getting what she wants and whining/screaming/crying/throwing things) I suggest to tell her to calm down and explain why she can’t have what she wants. If things persist and there is a house rule that there is no whining/back talk/yelling, you might want to take disciplinary action. I suggest a simple timeout in the corner. This gives the child time to cool off. But really, don’t sweat the small stuff like this and I think you acted well given the situation you were in.

If you find out a good answer, let me know. My 3 year old daughter does the same thing when she gets woken up early from her nap. The only thing that I have found that works (sort of) is to keep her in her room and let her cry it out. Of course if we’re out somewhere this doesn’t work. After about 10 minutes she stops crying and then she’s all smiles again. I think she does this because her little brain is still in sleepy mode and I’m trying to get her body moving. She doesn’t know how to express herself right then because her brain is still sleepy so she starts to cry to let me know she’s still tired.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting your child in a stroller, I still do it .

Good luck

Many kids are kranky when they wake up.

If you can spare the time let them ride out the tantrum and get over it…they will get bored of it first.

But you were under a time limit so you did what you had to do. No one is going to stop you putting the child in the stroller… it is the safest place for them.

She yelled all the way home because the truth is she really didn’t know what she wanted. She will grow out of it and she will respect you if you are true to your word.

Peace.

well she just woke up she is going to be mad I have a lil sister and she is does the same and she is only 4 yearsold but just ry to explain to her what she wants

I would smack her bottom 2-5 times easy or medium and warn her.

I got a whoopin’ and I never did things like that again!

She’s a child and she’s cranky… I never understood people who say the best thing is to reason with your child… she’s not an adult in a small body! Reasoning with her is not going to help! Talking to her and trying to deal with her like you would a functioning adult is obviously not going to work! I dont see a problem with pushing a 3 year old in a trolley who is exhausted and tired!
